The skull looks dangerous.. but at the same time it looks very innovative also. The developer has done a great job…

Why do movie costume makers always forget to make the costumes look worn? Where is the wear on this uniform? I realize Hugo Weaving is wearing this leather outfit for the first time, but the Red Skull isn’t.

Just a pet peeve of mine that often takes me out of a movie. That, and lightning/thunder coinciding like sound travels as fast as light.

O_O
Now THAT is how the Red Skull is supposed to look like! I am officially impressed.
Now all I ask is a decent clip of Hugo Weaving doing the accent. He can pull off Elrond, he can pull off Agent Smith, let’s see (or, in this case, HEAR) him pull off Johann Schmidt.

@kolbey: While I take note of what you say, that’s really not the point. I don’t think he said it to get a reaction, he said it because he can… behind the safety of his computer. He’s said similar comments in the past. So I stand by my reaction even though my post’s been deleted. Nuff said.

His costume looks impressive, but it seems to be very complicated to put it on, no wonder that Herr Schmidt has a grumpy face and an obviousley dark mood.

If I’m not mistaken, the origin of the Marvel Comics Hydra, is that it was formed by former Nazi Baron Strucker. It was a way for Stan & Jack to utilize the villainous Nazi’s in their 1960′s comic stories.

So the movie is only replacing one Nazi (Strucker) with another (Skull) and will allow Cap to have a villainous organization in the present day when he awakens from his frozen state.

Wow…looking at the comments one could conclude that Comic Book fans are morons who don’t know how to read. Which is kind of silly becuause y’know reading, comics. I guess they all missed this line? “(Yes, folks, while he’s wearing a Hydra belt/armband, he is also a Nazi, will be seen with Nazis, and called Nazis, as confirmed to Newsarama by official tie-in comic book writer Fred Van Lente)”. Why do I even bother?

“Sick! Wicked! Jack (Kirby of course) would be proud.” Don’t you mean Jack Kirby would be poor?! I guess work for hire is better than no work at all! G-d ble$$ you, Marvel!

1) the ears do look alittle rough, but its Hugo Weaving, and he is gonna kill it!! 2) T.K. Mazin and Ryan K…plz stop feeding the trolls, they will follow u home. you played right into what Darth Beavis wanted. Act like you have been on a message board before. 3) why are people complaining about there being no Nazis? There are gonna be LOTS of Nazis. This movie is gonna be good. I cant wait.

I like how even through the makeup you can tell it’s Hugo. I’m stoked for this movie. Set up to fail but turning my previous expectations on their ear!

I’m sold! They’ll likely explain Hydra as a special branch of the Nazi party.

The red skull is perfect. Absolutely perfect. In the darker moody lighting in the movie he’ll be so creepy. Can’t wait for Mr. Weaving to speak…

“I miss the days when attendance, not marketing, drove the movie industry.”

AND WHEN WAS THIS MAGICAL FAIRYTALE POINT IN EXISTENCE?

“I think people are making a big deal out of the wrong things. Everything I’ve heard says that the Skull starts out as a Nazi and breaks away to form Hydra. So a big plot point of the movie would be the formation of Hydra…which means this makes perfect sense within the context of the story. I see no problem here.”

Agreed. Besides, Nazis ARE going to be in the movie and very much so, according to the movie’s director Joe Johnston. It’s just that the Nazi are one thing, but Hydra is an even greater evil than even they within the context of this movie. So much so that they must be stopped.

And yes, Red Skull looks great. Even though I wouldn’t say I’m a hardcore Cap fan, I will still watch the movie and hope it is good.

All I need now is to hear Hugo Weaver talk looking like that and I’m done.

Whose to say this imagine isn’t from later in the film after he joins/creates Hydra? We don’t know for certain that he isn’t wearing swastikas originally.

I’ve only now realized that Hugo Weaving looks quite a bit like Nick Cave.
