"Hugo Weaving has said that he has no desire to reprise his role as Captain America villain the Red Skull. The Hobbit star admitted that he is contractually obliged to play the villain in a sequel should Marvel Studios wish to bring him back, but believes the studio would not force him to do so.   &amp;quot;I [signed a multi-picture deal] for Captain America. I think the tendency, with those films, would be to probably not bring a villain back. They might for The Avengers, but I didn&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;d be in Captain America 2 or 3,&amp;quot; he told Collider. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think Red Skull will be there.

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.&amp;quot; Captain America: The Winter Soldier, directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo and starring Chris Evans, is scheduled for release on April 4, 2014.
