Concept Art May Show Off Captain America's The Red Skull

It was only a couple hours ago that we posted a new image from Joe Johnston's Captain America: The First Avenger, that shows off Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. The Red Skull. The picture, of course, isn't the first we've seen of the character, but one image still continues to elude us: what Schmidt will look like when he's wearing his mask. Now we just might have a better idea.

Portuguese-language website Mondo Hype has posted what seems to be concept art of The Red Skull from this summer's Marvel superhero film. The leak is somewhat similar to the one all the way back in June when we got our first look at the Captain America costume. Two images total, one has the character in his familiar pose, his hands held behind his back, while the other has him holding the very same Cosmic Cube/Tesseract that we saw him holding this morning. It's unknown how real this concept art is at this point, but if it's legit, it's pretty damn cool.

Check out the image below or to see it full size head on over to Mondo Hype.
