Remember how I said Captain America was having trouble finding a lead because they’re set on casting an American? Well, they don’t have to worry about that when casting the villain, and surprise, it’s almost a done deal.
Marvel Studios has zeroed in on Hugo Weaving to play the villainous Red Skull in “Captain America.” In the Marvel comics, Red Skull has been Captain America’s archenemy since 1941, when he engaged in espionage and sabotage as Hitler’s right-hand man. In his final battle with the superhero, he was buried under the rubble of a bombed building but — as would occur later with Captain America — fell into a state of suspended animation. Both were revived in modern times. [THR]
I don’t believe that last part about the modern era applies here, because from what I understand, it’s still supposed to be a period piece. Anyway, Red Skull is a bad guy built from the same powers as Captain America, but sort of grotesque because the process was corrupted on account of him being evil. So basically, EVERY COMIC-BOOK MOVIE VILLAIN EVER. Not to mention The Mask.

‘Red Skull’ is Channing Tatum’s nickname for his genitals
Bad guys being built from the same powers as the good guys is the jsut like having solid bowel movements and having diarrhea. It’s the same shit, just different.
‘Red Skull’ is my euphemism for getting oral sex from a Native American
Gabourey Sidibe found a red skull in her period piece. She kept telling us she was pregnant but who could tell.
So he took a super-serum that made him strong, but because he wsa evil, it also made him ugly?
Jose Canseco already has his lawyer on the phone.
Listening to Hugo Weaving talk is like passing stones through your dick. It happens slowly and you just want it to end already.
To be fair, ED-209 was more bumbling and stupid than evil.
You try to walk down the stairs with Gatling gun for arms, MiZ
“MIS-ter America. I’ve been expecting you.”
“that’s CAPTAIN America to YOU, dick”
“I’M not the one wearing tights, fag”
“At least I still have a face, fugly”
“I miss Neo”
If only one of us wasn’t circumsized we could be docking instead of just shaking wieners
In Palestine, his name wil be changed to Red Skull Cap and they’ll severely downplay the “America” angle.

Hmm? Oh, yeah. That’s a good point. I should, uh- Hey! What’s that over there?
