Regardless of being probably the most iconic villains within the historical past of comedian books normally, not simply Marvel, the Red Skull was by no means actually given his due on the massive display screen. After all, Hugo Weaving performed the character in Captain America: The First Avenger, however he wasn’t precisely used to his full potential, mirroring the ‘one-and-done’ mentality that noticed the early years of the MCU stricken by undercooked unhealthy guys.
Weaving had been fairly vocal in admitting that he has completely little interest in reprising the function, regardless of initially signing a multi-picture contract for The First Avenger, however followers obtained a shock throughout the occasions of Avengers: Infinity Conflict when the Red Skull confirmed up because the guardian of the Soul Stone on Vormir, this time with The Strolling Lifeless’s Ross Marquand below the make-up.
Johann Schmidt’s alter-ego was additionally part of Avengers: Endgame, presiding over the battle to the dying between shut associates Hawkeye and Black Widow throughout the time-heist sequence of the film, and questions have lingered over what precisely occurred to him now that he was free from the clutches of the Infinity Stone.
Folks beloved the thought of the Red Skull lastly having the ability to escape from Vormir, just for his arch-nemesis Captain America to look and hand the Soul Stone proper again to him after he returned the stones at Endgame’s climax, however in a brand new interview, Marquand hinted that if he was to return to the MCU, then he’d be searching for revenge.
“Anthony and Joe Russo stated as soon as the Red Skull is launched of the Soul Stone, as soon as Thanos will get it, after which as soon as Hawkeye will get it, he’s basically free. But when we give it some thought, there’s all these completely different multiverses now. So in a single multiverse, when Thanos frees him, he’s free. I’d imaging the very first thing he would do if he nonetheless has a vendetta, or if any a part of him nonetheless has ambition, could be to return to Earth. Possibly he desires to precise revenge, perhaps he desires to maintain his diabolical plan going.”
Marquand admitted that there are at present no plans for the Red Skull to return to the MCU, but when he was supplied the chance he would seize it with each arms. With Steve Rogers now out of the image, it could be attention-grabbing to see the infamous villain return to the franchise. We’ve already seen him in each a interval and cosmic setting, however it could be enjoyable to see what he might stand up to if he was unleashed within the modern-day.
