One of the big surprises in this summer’s Infinity War was the inclusion of the villain Red Skull, who vanished at the end of 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger after interacting with the Tesseract, a.k.a. the Space Stone, and was never spoken of again.
Hugo Weaving (Hacksaw Ridge) played Red Skull in Joe Johnson’s Captain America: The First Avenger, while Ross Marquand (The Walking Dead) took over the role in Infinity War. Avengers: Infinity War is now available for purchase digitally and arrives on Blu-ray on August 14.
During a recent fan Q&A held on Twitter, Avengers: Infinity War directors Anthony and Joe Russo revealed that there could be more Red Skull in the MCU’s future.
Infinity War screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, who also penned all three Captain America movies, stated on the audio commentary that they had “a fetish” for bringing the Red Skull back to the MCU, and we hope that fetish continues to be explored.
