Hugo Weaving Doesn’t Want
to Play Red Skull Again

 He didn’t even mention Batman.  Or DC.  Only dickheads like you even make a distinction between Marvel and DC films.  They’re both about guys running around in their underwear. No difference whatsoever.

“Weaving should’ve just kept his mouth shut. Wanna know what happens when
you whine and play diva? You end up Ed Norton instead of Mark Ruffalo.”

Your comment would make sense if Norton still wanted to work with Marvel Studios.  He doesn’t and was quite happy to walk away. 

Your comments about Weaving’s resume are laughable.  He’s an actor who has starred in a lot of excellent films that WEREN’T “genre” films well before the Matrix.  Sure, starring in them is a great payday, but you can’t eat cereal all day can you?  You assume Weaving wants to be a household name as well.  Your comments are so ignorant it’s laughable.

Weaver’s already on the record saying that he wants to stop starring in big blockbusters and concentrate on smaller films and the stage where you actually act and are not a cog in a big machine.  He’s been in more notable, and award-winning films and plays that blockbusters as well. The fact that you only know him from Babe and Transformers demonstrates that you likely watch anything outside of flashy superhero and scifi films.  He doesn’t need you as much as you apparently need him. Get a life.

Just throw some elf ears on him.  He’ll be fine.

I think Weaving needs to take a restraining order out against you. Your obsession with him is disturbing.

Or perhaps even actor-speak for ‘I’m not really interested in doing the whole clichéd nazi-supervillain thing again’.

That’s too bad.  I was wondering if Red Skull had become Thanos

Please explain to all of us how Hugo Weaving is a hipster. 

 People just love to use the word “hipster” as a blanket attempt at insulting anyone for anything, even if they have no idea what it means ot the word cannot possibly apply to the situation.

I disagree with other comments – Hugo Weaving did a good job as the Red Skull.  He had just the right amount of menace and outright craziness, mixed with his brilliance.  I never really thought of the Skull as a scientist or genius, but they had to change it for the movies to explain his obsession with the Tessaract.  He did have a fascination with the cube in the comics, so it felt right.  I think Weaving is good at playing ominous bad guys.

Also, even though people are calling for Coulson to be the character, I think he would be a good choice to play The Vision.

Oh, VERY intelligent.  Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

So posting to a thread is now obsession? Get real. This is literally the first time I’ve posted something about Weaving since Matrix 3. Y’all post. Somebody replies. That’s just how it works. No obsession her. Not in the least.

 He didn’t get famous “all by himself” . If people didn’t go to see his films or shows  , he wouldn’t be shit . So what you are saying makes even less sense . Sit your ass down and be quiet .

In all fairness, he knew what Johnston was all about. Rocketeer was all the evidence of what was in store for him. That he got a watered down version of WWII shouldn’t have been that much of a surprise. That would be like wondering why your Uwe Boll helmed video game movie didn’t turn out well. That’s like Bill Murray excusing his part in Garfield and the final product.

Additionally, Marvel makes superhero movies not deep and factually intense documentaries. I can’t imagine anybody expecting this to be Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers. It’s Captain A

Haters gonna hate . Everyone who doesn’t like something that’s popular , always use the it’s “overrated” line . No it’s not . It was well made and everyone liked it except for a few folks like yourself . smh.

Looks like he wants some more serious roles, could Turner & Hooch 2 be on the horizon?

 No, it’s a watered down version of the comic.  Even the sanitised Captain America comics from the 70s were more violent and adult that this film.

You do realize that you can make this same exact claim about a number of other people in this thread right? No matter. 

I’m well aware of how much I post and the certain level of overlap. Even so, I personally feel as if each reply contributes something specific. It’s not meant to be obsessive. Just thorough. 

So, while I appreciate that you took the time to “instruct” me on how to post, a task which I’ve apparently been doing wrong for decades, perhaps you could be a little more constructive in the future. I am no common troll.

Honestly, I don’t spend my day thinking about guys like Weaving. I really don’t. I’m 38yo and obsession is simply a waste of my time. For you to suggest that I’m sort of whackadoo… Offensive. Stuff like this is why I hate the internet sometimes.

Anyway… That’s that. Good day.

Maybe he was contracted to do three Transformers films. And as for the Matrix – he at least had some real meat to get his teeth into there; Despite the fact he turned into a large ham in the final Matrix movie, Smith as a character has the most development of all the characters in the series, arguably. So there was at least something for him to work with.

 All he wants is the opposite of what he pursues?  So he’s hypocritical that way too?

They did try to get the original voice actor for megatron, but after a screen test it was decided that he sounded too old to reprise the roll.
