YES Hugo Weaving, now that is what we call a costume. Back in the mists of time we had a chirpy enough chat about Captain America’s costume in the upcoming super-adaptation, but we can say with some confidence that the new picture of the Red Skull rather blows him out of the water.

So, in the big screen version (directed by Joe Johnson) weapons developer Johann Schmidt is transformed into the Red Skull after being injected with the same Super Solider serum that creates el Capitan himself. Irony? You bet your leather covered, metal-studded asses. FEAST YOUR EYES:

The Red Skull is a baddie, just in case the costume left you in any doubt. More pics as we get them…
