William Fichtner has confirmed that he indeed will be playing the super villain in Michael Bay’s reboot of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This movie has had a lot of fans up in arms about what is going on with it considering that Bay was attempting to change the entire origin premise of the turtles around. “I play Shredder,” he revealed. “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 new Turtles movie isn’t going to be release until June 6, 2014. If you have been following up on this productions, Megan Fox is playing April Oneil. There has even been rumors of her hair falling out due to attempting to replicate the orange color of the characters hair. Fichtner has a film airing before then and it comes in the form of the Lone Ranger starring along side of Johnny Depp.
