Hugo Weaving as Red Skull? Hobbit Implications?
March 14th, 2010 by Calisuri | Discuss
ComingSoon.net is reporting that Hugo Weaving, aka Elrond from The Lord of the Rings films, is in talks to play the villain Red Skull in the upcoming ‘Captain America‘ movie. If Hugo takes the role, he would be reuniting with director Joe Johnston (Wolfman). The film is expected to be released July 2011. What does this mean for Hugo’s involvement in the upcoming ‘Hobbit’ films? Your guess is as good as ours, but with the continuing rumblings that the first Hobbit film will not be released until Dec 2012, this may have no effect at all on his availability. There is a lively discussion taking place on the message boards thanks to Ringer Alex. [ComingSoon.net Article]

Thanks to ringer ’smokerings’ from the forum for alerting us to this story. On of Guillermo del Toro’s favorite actors, Ron Perlman, has been cast in the upcoming ‘Conan’ film as Conan’s Dad. What does this have to do with ‘The Hobbit’ films? Well, we are beginning to see a trend. Actors who we would expect to have a role in the Hobbit films are taking other roles in films coming out in 2011. One can start to jump to a few conclusions…either the actor(s) will not be involved with ‘The Hobbit,’ their roles in these other films do not prevent them from working on ‘The Hobbit,’ or (what we believe is more likely) ‘The Hobbit’ is being delayed to a 2012 release. As always, this is all speculation and rumor. Discuss it in our forum! [Read Article]
