It's
MovieWeb that first caught this blurb in the description for NECA's upcoming HeroClix Avengers movie line that seems to reveal the villain(s) for the movie.
"Charging straight out of theaters and onto your tabletop, the Avengers Movie HeroClix set features heroes like Captain America and Thor as they battle the villainy of the Red Skull and Loki! Each Counter-Top display includes standard one-figure boosters as well as new three-figure "Team Packs"! Team Packs are designed with strong thematic undertones - play a Hydra force or defend freedom with a S.H.I.E.L.D. team pack!"
Loki (Tom Hiddleston) of course we already knew about, but seeing the Red Skull mentioned is a bit of a surprise. Of course the Skull was last seen in Captain America: The First Avenger and was played by Hugo Weaving.
This should not be considered a 100% confirmation that the Red Skull will appear in the Avengers movie, but it certainly seems like a good possibility.
