There's been some speculation regarding whether we'd see the character in his human or robotic form in the movie, but it looks like we'll definitely see Zola as a human at the start. (before Schmidt's transformation into the Red Skull) Unfortunately, there was no way to make it any bigger, but here's our first look at the villainous Arnim Zola courtesy of Entertainment Weekly!
In the comic books, Arnim Zola presented his first invention, the creation of device that would transfer someone’s essence to a cloned body, to Adolf Hitler, who agreed to become his patron. This device and partnership allowed Hitler to survive World War II as the Hate-Monger. Zola also used it on himself, not only allowing him to survive into modern times but to also replace his normally frail body with a stronger, android one. Zola also found a patron in the Red Skull, but otherwise he kept his existence a secret, performing experiments in a hidden fortress in the jungles of Central America.
Captain America: The First Avenger is set to be released on July 22, 2011!
