Captain America Movie Gets its Villain

The highly anticipated Captain America movie has its villain and according to Director Joe Johnston it will be Red Skull. He told HitFix;

“Well, we will see the Captain America villain, the main villain, the Red Skull.  But it’s the origin story.  It’s how he became Captain America in World War II.  There are present-day bookends, but it’s really… it’s his origin story.  And we decided you only get one shot at telling an origin story, so you might as well tell it first.”

As far as the visual look of the movie goes Joe told us that its going to be truly unique;

We’re definitely going to shoot it in a different way than any of the other Marvel pictures that were shot. What I’m trying to do is to look at the comics, most of the new ones, like the Brubaker series, and to interpret that sort of visual style into a film in a way that I think has been tried before but it always looks like it’s a little too on the nose. It looks like, “Oh, they’re shooting a comic book movie.” I want to try something a little bit different.
