Hugo Weaving Not Interested In Returning As The Red Skull In Future Marvel Movies | Geeks of Doom

I think Weaving is a great actor. But he has taken a paycheck in other lesser movies. I would have to think he is reluctant to go under the makeup again. Understandable. It sounds like this is his declaration to Marvel that if you want me to endure that again I am going to need some better money.

Whedon responds to TDKR cinematographer's Avengers bashing | Blastr

The Academy Award-winning cinematographer behind The Dark Knight Rises recently took some shots at Joss Whedon's blockbuster The Avengers, and now Whedon himself has responded to the hate.

Wally Pfister, the cinematographer behind films like The Dark Knight Rises and Atonement, recently called The Avengers an "appalling film," filled with "illogical forms of storytelling" that drove him "bonkers."

Entertainment Weekly tracked down Whedon to ask his thoughts on Pfister's public-bashing, and he gave a very polite response (which sadly lacked his usual Whedon-esque snark, but hey, he's trying to be classy).

He simply replied:

"I'm sorry to hear it, I'm a fan."
We're sorry to hear it too, Joss, but you should be able to sleep easy knowing virtually everyone else loved the film, and most can't wait for the sequel in 2015.

What do you think? Did the cinematography in Avengers drive you "bonkers"?

Hugo Weaving Doesn't Want To Play Red Skull Again In Any More Marvel Movies | The Playlist

However, he's not keen on reprising the role, though obviously he will if he's asked. "I think the tendency, with those films, would be to probably not bring a villain back. They might for 'The Avengers,' but I didn’t think I’d be in 'Captain America 2 or 3.' I don’t think Red Skull will be there," he pondered. "And it’s not something I would want to do again. I’m glad I did it. I did sign up for a number of pictures and I suppose, contractually, I would be obliged to, if they forced me to, but they wouldn’t want to force someone to do it, if they didn’t want to. I think I’ve done my dash with that sort of film. It was good to do it and try it out, but to be honest, it’s not the sort of film I seek out and really am excited by. As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great. It stretches you in different ways. But, I increasingly like to go back to what I used to always do, which is to get involved with projects that I really have a personal affiliation with."
