New updates for the third Captain America film, Captain America: Civil War have been revealed online as Hugo Weaving is rumored to return as Cap's arch-nemesis The Red Skull in the movie.
According to reports from THR, Hugo Weaving discussed the potential return of the Red Skull in Captain America 3 movie.
"I have absolutely no idea" Weaving said. "I haven't talked to anyone about it, so, yeah, we'll just have to wait and see. No idea at all."
IAmRogue have also interviewed Weaving, as he further teased fans by saying.
"You never know what might or might not happen."
"But my views have not really changed. I certainly have not had any conversations with anyone about that. No change at all on that landscape. I was talking to you about another Matrix, and I doubt that would happen. But there are always circumstances. Certain circumstances do change, and there is always a good reason to revisit or reinvestigate something. It may not be worth following, but it is always good to keep your options open and your mind open. Having said all of that, I have not really changed my opinion about not wanting to do another Captain America. It was fun to do. It was a very great thing to do in many ways, but I suppose my focus is more likely to be elsewhere, but who knows."
With that in mind, there would be a 50/50 chance that Marvel fans get to see the Red Skull in Captain America: Civil War. Fans have already know that Civil War will showcased Steve Rogers confronting his fellow Avengers teammate Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man as Frank Grillo's character Brock Rumlow/Crossbones returns in the movie and Daniel Bruhl is also added to the cast.
Speaking of Bruhl, The "Rush" actor is rumored tomplay another major Captain America villain.
According to reports from ComicBook.com, Daniel Bruhl could play the notorious Baron Zemo in the movie, but the website also hinted other villains including Baron Mordo, Nikolaus Geist, even the Red Skull. No confirmation has been made regarding what Bruhl would be in the film, but fans are excited to see what or who he is in the film.
Lastly, Cap himself, Chris Evans is rumored to direct a future Marvel film.
MTV news conducted an interview with Chris Evans about the plot details of Captain America 3. This is what he said during course of the interview.
“It’s this giant web of plot, where everything is connected to everything else… that’s the beautiful thing,” Evans told MTV News, “and especially for the fanboys who understand these plotlines. With Cap 3, we’re going to continue this excitement.”
MTV also pointed out to Chris that after Avengers 2, Captain America will form a new team. Chris teasingly answered.
“What do I think about this, what can I say about this?” Evans wondered aloud. “You wanna give something!”
“Marvel doesn’t disappoint,” Evans finally said, after much inner conflict. “Whatever you’re hoping for, you’re probably going to get.”
Chris Evans also answered the rumors that his character Steve Rogers will be replaced by either Winter Soldier or Falcon for the mantle of Captain America.
“Who’s handing off the shield? Don’t take my job from me prematurely dude,” Evans said. “I’m sure it’ll happen at some point, all good things have to come to an end. But I’m really happy playing the character.”
Fanshare has reported before that that Chris Evans might step away from role of Steve Rogers after Captain America 3 leaving Anthony Mackie or Sebastian Stan to take on the star-spangled shield.
Comicvine also reported that Chris Evans will leave Marvel Studios after Avengers 3 citing that the character will die and his possible replacement will either Sam Wilson or Buck Barnes a.k.a. Winter Soldier since both of them claimed the mantle in the comics.
Well it looks like these rumors were put rest thanks to Cap himself.
There is also another rumor that Chris will possible direct a Marvel movie.
According to reports from Wall Street Journal, Chris cited his concerns over directing a Marvel movie.
“So me and Mark Kassen, the guy who I brought on this movie, we were just talking like ‘what’s next?’ I want to continue directing and he’s like, ‘What size movie do you want to direct?’ I don’t care. If I read the right script, if that script needs $5 million, if that script needs $50 million, I don’t care. If I read a project that’s beautiful, that I really want to make, whatever it needs, it needs.”
He further adds his statement in an interview with Variety saying;
“I’m looking to pursue directing. In the immediate future, I’m only looking to fulfill my contract with Marvel. If I’m going to act, it will be either in Marvel or something that I’m directing. And somehow, it was twisted into it would either be Marvel or I’m directing, not that I would be directing something I would act in.”
