Hugo Weaving's interview was REALLY candid, wasn't it? Saying he doesn't want to be the Red Skull, how much the Transformers franchise doesn't mean to him, etc.

As for the Red Skull character itself, I don't know if I'll necessarily miss him since Hugo Weaving isn't needed for the character to come back. I've had a persistent feeling that Powers Boothe's character in The Avengers was Dell Rusk, and even if that isn't what the people behind the MCU intend for these characters, I can still see that happening if they don't want to bring back a Weaving whose heart's only half in it.
