10 Villains That The MCU Got Completely Wrong
4. Red Skull (Captain America: The First Avenger)
Captain America: The First Avenger's depiction of the Red Skull is completely fine, more than fine, in fact, but Marvel Studios' handling of the character was flawed.
Hugo Weaving brought menacing screen presence to a bad guy who could easily have descended into a farce of pantomime proportions, but the movie simply didn't give him enough screen time.
This is an iconic bad guy whose actions in The First Avenger can still be felt in the present day Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the open-ended nature of his ultimate fate may never be addressed.
Although Weaving nailed the part, this casting choice is questionable because it's clear the actor has no interest in reprising his role. Red Skull is a character who needs more than one film to do him justice, so Marvel should have gone for somebody who was willing to be in it for the long haul.
Let's hope we haven't seen the last of Red Skull, because there's so much unfinished business for him to attend to.
