word of advice : Spoilers ahead …

Before everyone saw the movie , a lot of people were job that Robert Redford was going to be Red Skull . I was relieve to find out he was n’t . Did you discover that rumor ? Did you ever diddle with the idea of doing that ?

Anthony Russo : We did hear that rumor . rooter are always essay to tie everything back to the mythology , and sometimes it ’s good to subvert expectations . We wanted a very grounded villain for this movie : Redford as a top level bureaucrat . He ’s sort of the Henry Kissinger for this multiplication , who ’s go bad . That sense like that conform to more into the struggle that Cap was going through in the film and it was a better scoundrel for him to oppose . A kind of ideological scoundrel , versus a scientific discipline fiction creative activity ?

Are we go to be seeing Crossbones again ? He survived and he ’s all marred up — does that stand for the next the we see him he ’ll have to be wearing the Crossbones mask ?

Anthony Russo : What we ’ll say … We wo n’t confirm or deny , but this could be perceived as an origin write up for Crossbones .
