Probably showing my nerd ignorance here, but before I saw this article I'd never heard of Thomas Kretschmann or Baron Von Strucker. Sorry. Never much followed The Avengers or Marvel in general. Always been more of DC Comics guy.
But enough about me.
"THR" reports that German actor Thomas Krestschmann has been cast as a supporting villain in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the character he'll portray hasn't been made official, a source close to the film states that Kretschmann will play villain Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker. In the comics Struker is both an antagonist for Captain America and the Avengers. Strucker is a former Nazi officer who eventually associates himself with Red Skull and becomes the head of the evil organization HYDRA. Let's see: German actor, Nazi villain, Kretschmann has already played a Nazi in the film Valkyrie....yeah I'm beginning to connect the dots here.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron begins filming this year and releases May 1, 2015.
