For his MCU return , Marvel Studios went through several look for Red Skull . One of the early designs for him do from concept illustratorRodney Fuentebellawho share his creation on his official Instagram . There are some similarity to what ultimately made on the big screen , but his illustration makes him await a lot shivery with what looks like a wring , or at least wrapped head .

As Fuentebella explain on his subtitle , the main idea for this Red Skull design is to underscore that he ’s basically become a carapace of his former ego , import , there ’s not much Schmidt left in there . give the decades of isolation he spent in Vormir , this makes sense . By the time Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) and Gamora ( Zoe Saldana ) met him , he sounded almost indifferent to them - he ’s simply carrying a job , as if being the gatekeeper of Soul Stone basically gazump him of his life and snare him in the desolated satellite . He had the same aura when Hawkeye ( Jeremy Renner ) and Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson ) call in Vormir for the Soul Stone again inEndgame . In theory , this character pattern would ’ve worked , then again the fact that Red Skull ’s barely recognisable in this expression may have worked against the film producer ' program of a surprising reveal inInfinity War .
manager Joe and Anthony Russo revealed that once the Soul Stone was slay from Vormir , Red Skull is free to wander . In bothAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgame , the elemental quartz glass was retrieved , which would ’ve reserve the graphic symbol to last leave the major planet . However , since Rogers ' was tax to bring it back at the end of the latest MCU ensemble flick , does that mean that Red Skull is once again trapped there ? At this detail , no one knows , and it will most in all likelihood abide that way until Marvel Studios decides to play him back again for their future chronicle .
