High-Res look at Red Skull from Captain America

Expect a few comic book movie updates today (“What’s new?” I hear ya respond). Firstly, a new still from “Captain America : The First Avenger”.

Paramount has sent over a high-res version of the ‘Red Skull’ pic that hit the interweb freeway yesterday. Yep, that’s Hugo Weaving behind all the strawberry icing.

“Captain America: The First Avenger” will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving.)

One of a continuing slate of films being produced by Marvel Studios based on the Marvel characters, “Captain America: The First Avenger” joins “Thor” on May 6, 2011 and “The Avengers” on May 4, 2012.
