I read this article on IGN.com that the Red Skull is going to be in The Avenger, which is great becasue he is a awesome villian.
Here is the IGN.com article
We learned yesterday that merchandising had revealed some spoilers about The Amazing Spider-Man, and now the same is apparently true of The Avengers.
The Hollywood Reporter points out this article at Movieweb that claims toymaker NECA sent a product description to retailers this week for HeroClix figurines for the Avengers movie that reveals the identity of the movie's rumored second villain.
The product description follows, so beware of spoilers:
"Charging straight out of theaters and onto your tabletop, Marvel's the Avengers Movie HeroClix set features heroes like Captain America and Thor as they battle the villainy of the Red Skull and Loki! Each Counter-Top display includes standard one-figure boosters as well as new three-figure 'Team Packs'! Team Packs are designed with strong thematic undertones - play a Hydra force or defend freedom with a S.H.I.E.L.D. team pack!"
So that means Red Skull is in Avengers, right? Well, as THR points out, "NECA could just be bundling related Marvel characters together, but the end of Captain America certainly didn't rule out future appearances from Weaving's Red Skull."

Do you want The Red Skull in The Avengers? Please comment and let us know.
OH. YES.
ReplyDeleteRed Skull is everything Steve is not--their total opposites, as opposite as you can go, and seeing them clash is amazing. And Red Skull is epic in that he used the same serum that the same Dr. made...but before it was ready. He's Steve's equal in strength and power...
Yes. I want him back!
Oh, and it will be epic seeing him and Loki together...if he returns, that is...

YES! I want Red Skull to come back. He is a familiar character, he will have reasons for revenge which will make it interesting and he beats Darth Vader in the scare factor so he is really good as a bad guy.
ReplyDeleteHEY GUYS!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I love Captain America now, I watched the movie over Winter Break, and I like Thor too. I am SOOOOO PSYCHED for Avengers. I will be reading up on your blog a LOT. ;)
I would LOVE to see Red Skull back in Avengers. He's a familiar character, he'd be interesting to see again and if he works WITH Loki.....gosh I would literally be in paradise, that would be SO EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Can't wait for this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as he doesn't take the lead from Loki, I'm okay. As I like Loki a lot more and I think he's a much better villain than Red Skull.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think he (Red Skull) was that great a villain though.....I thought that he was just plain creepy I liked Loki better. ;)
@Jamie: I agree Red Skull and Loki together would be awesome!
ReplyDelete@Kayla: Yes, having a familiar character would be good.
@Jedi Chick: YES! Another Captain America fan! We are growing in numbers. :) Thanks and I agree it would be epic.
@Vellvin: I agree that Loki is a better villian than the Red Skull but It thought that the Red Skull was also a good villian. Thanks for the comment. :)
