Captain America movie : Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull (confirmed!)



Here's an official update directly from marvel.com and they just announced that actor Hugo Weaving is confirmed to play as the Red Skull in Marvel Studio' upcoming film "Captain America: The First Avenger". Hugo will join in the roster of Marvel comics live action characters along with Chris Evans who will be Captain America for the film. Film will be released on July 22, 2011 under Paramount Pictures. We see Hugo a lot in movies like in Matrix, LOTR, Transformers, V for Vendetta and Wolfman, his voice in some voices played an important role, and this time, his voice and acting is needed again to play as the Nazi agent Red Skull.

Also in other news, Hayley Atwell will play as Peggy Carter in the movie, as the character who fell in love with Captain America during they fought war together. hmm smells like a war-action-love story.
