Ross Marquand On Red Skull In ‘Avengers: Infinity War’; Wants To Play Moon Knight In The Future

Ross Marquand, who plays Red Skull in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War, told ComicBook.com that he hopes to reprise his role as the Captain America villain in the future.

Marquand, who also plays as Aaron in the post-apocalyptic series The Walking Dead, said that he was such a fan of the character during his childhood that he drew him along other famous Marvel characters:

“I loved playing Red Skull, I hope I can come back and play him again. We’ll see. That’s one of the characters that I drew the most as a kid. I would draw Sabretooth, I would draw Omega Red — a lot of Omega Red, surprisingly — Mephisto, and Logan [Wolverine], obviously. But Red Skull was probably one of the first characters that I learned to draw, so this is like the craziest, most amazing dream.”

He also stated that on the off chance Red Skull didn’t come back, he would enjoy playing the masked hero and fan favorite Moon Knight:

“Because that’s kind of Marvel’s — he gets compared to Batman a lot, like Marvel’s Batman, but he’s such an amazing character. And what they go into in a later part of the series with his dissociative identity disorder, he has a hard time keeping realities separate from his crime-fighting or if this is all in his head, and he might like actually be going crazy. Which, if you think about it, what superhero wouldn’t kinda be going crazy a little bit if you have an alter ego? I think it would mess with your head. So that’s a character I would love to play.”

With the complete Marvel Studios phase 4 yet to be revealed and the slate of shows planned for Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, still to be announced, Marquand may yet have a chance to either reprise Red Skull or take a chance on Moon Knight.

Captain Marvel releases March 8, followed by Avengers: Endgame April 26 and Spider-Man: Far From Home July 5, 2019.
