William Fichtner Confirms His ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Role!

Briefly: Back in May, William Fichtner joined the Michael Bay produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in an unspecified, yet ‘iconic’ role. Seeing as the turtles had already been cast, and Fichtner doesn’t really fit the Master Splinter look, it was assumed that the actor would be playing Shredder in the film.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Fichtner has confirmed our speculation:

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.

Fichtner is a pretty phenomenal actor, and I’m really looking forward to seeing his Shredder portrayal. What do you think of the casting choice? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is set to hit theatres on June 6th, 2014.
