Hugo Weaving

Everyone knows Nazi's are evil.  And everyone knows Supervillains are evil.  But Nazi Supervillains?  Those guys are just the worst.  Enter the Red Skull, one of the most sinister, villainous characters in all of comics.  Up until now we haven't gotten a perfect look at Hugo Weaving in full make up, so Entertainment Weekly has shown us a full look at Cap's archenemy.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Red Skull.

I was wondering how they were going to make him look, and that really is the Red Skull!  It has all the iconic elements that make the Skull so distinctive, while at the same time you can see there's a human being under there.  And I'm especially impressed by the costume.  It looks distinctly Nazi, but still larger than life enough to fit in a superhero movie.  And you can never go wrong with black, red and silver in a costume.  I'm going to reserve final-final judgment until I see him in motion, but this is pretty badass.  The first full trailer should be out tomorrow, so that time will be coming very soon.
