I thought this was confirmed already, but after reading this...I guess not?

Hugo Weaving Confirmed as Red Skull in Captain America Source: Marvel Studios May 4, 2010

Marvel Studios announced today that Hugo Weaving has been cast to star as Johann Schmidt aka the Red Skull in the studio's highly anticipated movie Captain America: The First Avenger opposite Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell. In the early comics, Johann Schmidt was drafted into loyal service of The Third Reich and renamed "The Red Skull." The character will be updated for the feature adaptation. Joe Johnston will direct the film penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce Captain America: The First Avenger. Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel and Louis D'Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the US on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Captain America: The First Avenger will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

Weaving was last seen in The Wolfman and his voice is very recognizable as Megatron from Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as well as Noah the Elder from Happy Feet. His other film credits include starring in V For Vendetta, "The Matrix" franchise, and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

Perfect Casting for Red Skull, but as you said its kinda old news, but refreshing they have him hook, line, and sinker.

The headlines a month ago made it sound like a sure thing but if you read the copy carefully, it was always "in talks". Why did it take a month to lock this down? Was Marvel lowballing Weaving?

Final negotiations for a 2nd well known Cap villain announced although I doubt he'll be in costume....

Also, in case there was any doubt, Samuel L. Jackson said on the Tonight Show that he will definitely be in the Captain America movie. I'm guessing he might bookend the movie in the modern scenes.
