Red Skull Was Teleported To Vormir By The Tesseract Schmidt revealed to Thanos and Gamora how the Tesseract had cast him out, banished him to Vormir, and cursed him to "guide others to a treasure [he] cannot possess."
Red Skull was believed to be dead, but Infinity War revealed he was teleported to Vormir and as punishment for abusing the Space Stone's power, he was cursed into becoming the guardian of the Soul Stone.
However, the fight ended when Red Skull touched the Tesseract with his bare hands, prompting it to create a wormhole and send him elsewhere. Red Skull was teleported to Vormir, where he became trapped in a state of purgatory, becoming a Stonekeeper, a wraith advising those who sought the Soul Stone.
How is it you know this place so well?" In 1945, the Red Skull vanished from Earth upon holding the Tesseract while trying to finish off Captain America, leading him to be teleported by the Space Stone to Vormir, where he was cursed to serve as the keeper of the Soul Stone.
After seven decades on Vormir, Red Skull met Hawkeye and Black Widow as they sought the Soul Stone. After Black Widow was sacrificed, Schmidt was briefly freed until Captain America returned the Soul Stone and restored his curse.

Why can't Red Skull get the Soul Stone?
It's understood that the Red Skull can't give up what he loves because he's trapped on a deserted planet, but the explanation for why he can never have the Soul Stone may go deeper than that. In Marvel Comics, the Red Skull is simply incapable of love.
The Russo brothers have hinted that he's not bound to Vormir for all eternity, but that he is different than he once was when the Tesseract transported him.
However, Red Skull saw his true intentions, informing Gamora that Thanos was, in fact, weeping for Gamora, as he truly loved her as a daughter, and was heartbroken that he had to sacrifice her to get the Soul Stone. Disbelieving, Gamora could not comprehend that Thanos ever showed genuine love for her.
Thanos would dominate the Red Skull in just about every scenario. While Johann Schmidt may have the advantage in a scenario where he has a Cosmic Cube or Kobik and Thanos has nothing to counter it, even then Thanos would likely find a way to win the day.
The Tesseract could open wormholes to any part of the universe and provide interdimensional travel. Touching the Tesseract physically, Red Skull was suddenly transported to Vormir where the Soul Stone chose him as a Stonekeeper.

When Captain America (Chris Evans) fights Schmitt on a plane, Red Skull tries to handle the Tesseract himself. As fans learn in both this film and Guardians of the Galaxy, most beings cannot handle an Infinity Stone without being destroyed by it. In this case, the stone opens a wormhole and sucks Red Skull into it.
In Captain Marvel, we see Danvers's “cat” Goose uses his tentacle mouth to keep the Tesseract with him and Nick Fury for safekeeping, and it's not till decades later — as seen in one of the film's two end-credits scenes — that Goose coughs it up on Nick Fury's desk, presumably handing it off to Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Gamora finally does confront Thanos, she believes for a moment that she's killed him and breaks down, crying. An orange light passes over her--but it's fleeting. Whatever love Gamora has for Thanos is all but smothered by darkness.
Thanos never cared much for Nebula, even going so far as to say in Guardians of the Galaxy that Gamora was his favorite. That could be because, to Thanos, Nebula was nothing more than a means to spare Gamora while still obtaining the Soul Stone.
Although he is an extremely skilled marksman, Clint Barton is often considered to be the weakest member of the team seeing as he's just a regular guy with a bow and arrow. That certainly means that Hawkeye one of the weakest Avengers.
“He's aware of Stark from the original Battle of New York as the person who undid the plan,” said Russo about Thanos knowing Stark. The makers also explained the connection between Stark and Thanos in regards to what they want to achieve: a path for a better future.
Hugo Weaving says his Red Skull wasn't in 'Avengers: Endgame' because Marvel were 'impossible' Hugo Weaving has said that while he would have been up for reprising his role as Red Skull in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Marvel proved 'impossible' to negotiate with.
The Red Skull inhales the dust of death and his face takes on the appearance of a living red skull; his head loses its hair and its skin shrivels, clinging tightly to his skull, and taking on a red discoloration. The Red Skull survives the exposure due to the effects of the Super-Soldier Formula.
