The Avengers: 2nd Villain Revealed [SPOILER]?

Did a toy company provide a MAJOR SPOILER regarding Marvel's superhero team up flick The Avengers?


NECA will release toy tie-ins and a product description sent to retailers seemingly gives away the identity of the film's top secret villain. If we are to believe this toy description, Captain America: The First Avenger baddie Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) will be the one helping Loki (Tom Hiddleston) to bring down the team of superheroes as pointed out by MovieWeb

The release reads as follows: "Charging straight out of theaters and onto your tabletop, Marvel's 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."
The flick has been rumored to have another villain since production started, but it's thus far been kept a secret.

NECA could just be bundling related Marvel characters together, but the end of Captain America certainly didn't rule out future encounters with Weaving's Red Skull.

Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans Chris Hemsworth Scarlett Johansson Samuel L. Jackson Jeremy Renner Mark Ruffalo, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Stellan Skarsgård, and Amanda Righetti and Paul Bettany star in the May 4, 2012 release for writer/director Joss Whedon.
