It was during this talk that The Russo Brothers revealed Hugo Weaving was offered Red Skull’s role in the blockbuster.
This revelation comes to us from Slash Film’s Peter Sciretta, who was in the audience for a Q & A with The Russo Brothers after a recent screening of Avengers: Infinity War.
They didn’t go into details about the negotiations or what went wrong, but the final result shows that Weaving ultimately didn’t return to the MCU during the film’s Soul Stone sequence.
