You probably already know that William Fichtner has been cast to star in the Michael Bay produced reboot "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", formerly titled "Ninja Turtles", but his role was never disclosed. This week, Fichtner finally revealed that he will be playing the iconic Turtles villain Shredder:
"“I play Shredder. It is cool. It’s one of those things that came along where I thought, ‘Really? Let me think about this for a minute.’ [Laughs] Then I was like, ‘Yeah, OK, this sounds like a journey.’ I’m very glad that it worked out, I’m really glad that I’m doing it."
The turtles are played by Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard and Pete Ploszek. The film also stars Megan Fox as reporter April O'Neil, Danny Woodburn as Splinter, Will Arnett and Whoopi Goldberg. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" opens on June 6, 2014.
