According to Variety, Hugo Weaving will play the villain, Red Skull.

The character of Captain America, created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a sickly young man who was enhanced to human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States in World War II during the 1940s. Captain America wears a costume that resembles an American flag, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon.
Evans will next be seen in Warner Bros.' adaptation of DC Comics' "The Losers" in April, and has signed on to co-star opposite Anna Faris in New Regency's comedy "What's Your Number."
