MCU: 10 Things Red Skull Might've Been Doing Since 1945

7. Living On Earth

Prior to the release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, there were persistent rumours that Robert Redford's character - HYDRA leader Alexander Pierce - would actually turn out to be a disguised Red Skull, with the latter having somehow found his way back to Earth since the Tesseract shunted him into distant space. That didn't turn out to be the case at all, but rumours and theories persist that the Red Skull is indeed back on terra firma. The exact details about Martin Freeman's character aren't known yet, but he's going to be a figurehead in the enforcement of the Sokovia Accords and he's likely to be in cahoots with Baron Zemo - and that's where the Red Skull links come from (both characters are senior HYDRA figures, after all).
