Just to be clear, this has not been made official, yet. SlashFilm coughed up some concept art for Red Skull (played by Hugo Weaving), the villain in the upcoming Marvel flick, Captain America: The First Avenger. If I were to guess, I'd say this is absolutely legitimate. It's got the same artistic style as the previous Thor and Cap concept art that was released months ago and what with the trailer speculated to show up this week, it's about time we saw something to do with Red Skull. And if this is indeed legitimate, then colour me sincerely impressed. Not only have they captured the look of the character, but they've given him a real-life, breathing menacing quality. Can't wait to see him in action. Captain America: The First Avenger hits cinemas here July 29th, 2011.
