Shooting is well underway for the CGI/ live action hybrid Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starring Alan Ritchson (Raphael), Pete Ploszek (Leonardo), Jeremy Howard (Donatello) and Noel Fisher (Michaelangelo) as our turtles, along with Megan Fox (April O’Neil), Danny Woodburn (Master Splinter), and Will Arnett (Vernon Fenwick).

Now in an interview with HuffPost Canada TV, William Fichtner (Elysium, The Dark Knight Rises, Armageddon, Contact) has confirmed that he will be playing the villain, Shredder. I’ve always loved what William Fichtner does with his roles. This should be great. Here’s the excerpt.

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.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starring William Fichtner, Will Arnett, Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard, Noel Fisher Danny Woodburn and Megan Fox is slated to hit theaters June 6, 2014.
