Captain America Update: Hugo Weaving As Red Skull... Confirmed!

It's been on talks for a couple of weeks now, but Marvel Studios has finally finished negotiations with a certain A-List actor to play the Red Skull in next year's star spangled superhero flick - The First Avenger, Captain America!

Hugo Weaving, best known for his roles as Agent Smith in "The Matrix Trilogy", Lord Elrond in "The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy", and the voice of Megatron in Michael Bay's Transformer films, has been confirmed to play the role of the Red Skull, the deadly arch-nemesis of Chris Evan's Captain America! Marvel.com and Superherohype have the scoop up, and suffice to say, I'm glad that Weaving is playing the role of the "Third Reich Villain", whose real name is Johann Schmidt. Weaving will reunite with director Joe Johnston, who directed "The Wolfman" before moving on to "The First Avenger". What does this mean to fans and moviegoers everywhere? Well, we'll be getting an AWESOME Red Skull, that's for sure! For more info, visit the links above, or go straight to Marvel.com!
