Here's Who Plays [SPOILER] In AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
Avengers: Infinity War features a lot of very cool surprises and now some details have been revealed about a certain casting decision in the movie. Needless to say, stop reading if you haven't seen it yet!
Right, you've got this far but stop reading immediately if you still haven't seen Avengers: Infinity War! In the movie, when Thanos travels to the planet where the Soul Stone is hidden, he's greeted by a mysterious figure whose identity is obscured by a cloak. Moments later, we learn that it's actually the Red Skull, the lead villain from Captain America: The First Avenger who was seemingly obliterated when he got his hands on the Tesseract during his battle with the young Steve Rogers during WWII.
However, if you thought that Hugo Weaving had somehow been convinced to reprise the role - after previously saying "It's not something I would want to do again" - then think again! While it definitely sounds like him in Avengers: Infinity War, it's now been confirmed that it's actually The Walking Dead's Ross Marquand (Aaron) who takes on the role of the former HYDRA leader in this movie.
The actor is well-known for his impressive celebrity impressions and actually does a great job of nailing Weaving's voice while playing this character. In fact, he makes it tough to differentiate this version from the original and it will be interesting seeing if he now makes his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the iconic villain. What do you guys think? Be sure to let us know your thoughts below.
