So Alexander Pierce was never Red Skull

After all this time we all thought that Alexander Pierce was the Red Skull but after seeing how Captain America the Winter Soldier turned out that Red Ford never ripped off his face in the movie, i guess we were all wrong.

Surely in the comics Red Skull had infiltrated the government as Dell Rusk after so many years passed by but now it instead of having Alexander Pierce turn up as Red Skull in disguise the Russo brother chose to let Robert Redford's character be the way he is.

Still it was good because the trailers had been more heavily revolved around Bucky as the Winter Soldier who was meant to be reformed after settling conflict with Captain America.
