Well who else would they choose, Lucifer?  Fuck that.  Red Skull it is and what a villain to choose.  Joe Johnston who was hired to direct ‘The First Avenger: Captain America,’ confirmed that the film will be an origin story and will feature Red Skull as the villain.

Now I don’t want anyone to think that Red Skull being the villain is going to be like Superman’s arch enemy Lex Luthor.  You know, where the only super power Luthor has is the power of dishing out money for some kryptonite.  Fucking lame.  Red Skull is a great choice and a fucking scary character taboot.

Here’s a little side note for you just so we are all on the page with how this movie is going to be.  Joe Johnston hasn’t done that much directing. Some movies to bring up so everyone knows who he is are ‘Jumanji,’ ‘Honey, I Shrunk The Kids,’ ‘Jurassic Park 3′ and the most recent ‘The Wolfman.’  He also worked on Indiana Jones and Star Wars too.

So he’s got quite the resume before picking up this Captain America project.  I have no doubt that it will be great but I don’t know if it will be as great as the 1990 version of Captain America which you can see the trailer below.  Fucking classic. Enjoy!
