The Red Skull Revealed

Although Johann Schmidt, the Nazi weapons developer also known as “The Red Skull,” was glimpsed in the Captain America: The First Avenger trailer , no close-up full frontal shots of the Nazi villain have been released until today.

But

Entertainment Weekly has now posted a shot of Hugo Weaving in full Red Skull drag along with a short interview with Captain America: The First Avenger director Joe Johnston. Johnston talks about what he likes about Captain America—“he’s not a superhero in the true sense of the word. He becomes a superhero, but doesn’t really have any super powers.

He’s just the best possible human specimen. Imagine the fastest, strongest Olympian athlete. Add 30 percent. That’s Steve Rogers…I’ve had other offers for movies like this and usually turned them down. To me there’s something less interesting about a guy who can fly, and throw tanks around and stuff like that. The reason I wanted to do this one is he (Steve Rogers) is so relatable. I can relate to him”
