New Photo of Hugo Weaving as Red Skull From Captain America [Updated]


Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios have debuted a new photo of Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull in Joe Johnson‘s Captain America: The First Avenger. Weaving looks like a total bad ass as this villain and I love the character design and costume.

In this summer’s Captain America: The First Avenger, Chris Evans plays a scrawny, sickly wannabe soldier during World War II who gets an injection that turns him into a super-warrior. A similar experiment was also established by the Nazis, but turned their test subject — the weapons developer Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) — into the ghastly Red Skull.

The action adventure war film stars Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Dominic Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Neal McDonough and Samuel L. Jackson. It’s set tobe released on July 22nd 2011.
