What happened to that whole casting Captain America by March 1st thing? Or casting Cap first then working the supporting cast around him? Throw that crap out the window. Heat Vision is reporting that Hugo Weaving(The Matrix trilogy, The Wolfman) is in final discussions to take on the role of the Red Skull, Captain American's arch-enemy.
The Red Skull was once Hitler's right hand man, serving as his chief espionage expert back in the 1940s. In combat with Captain America, both found themselves accidentally encased in ice and lost, only to be found and re-animated in modern times to continue their rivalry.
In the horrendous Captain America film from 1990 the Red Skull was the primary villain...and inexplicably made to be Italian.
The search for who will play Captain America continues, but surely it can only be a few days away with news of this agreement.
