Stalingrad star Thomas Kretschmann is going to appear in not one but multiple, upcoming Marvel movies, beginning with a significant role in 2015′s Avengers: Age of Ultron, where he’ll star as the very serious sounding villain Baron Wolfgang von Strucker.
Kretschmann isn’t very well known to most American audiences, but has been working steadily since the late 1980s in films that range from The Karate Dog, Wanted and King Kong to the aforementioned Stalingrad, which has been performing very well overseas despite having limited to no presence here in the States.
Still, Marvel has an amazing track record when it comes to casting their movies, so we should all just chill out and be super confident about this particular casting choice, even though Baron on Strucker has a long and storied history in the Marvel Universe that is going to make expectations pretty lofty.

While everyone in the world is dreading the remake of The Karate Kid, I have learned new information today that has me at least a little excited: the redo will retain the original title, despite the fact that it will be set in China and involve kung fu, not karate. Why is this exciting? Because it reminds me of my favorite bad movie, Bob Clark's The Karate Dog, of course (check out this clip for martial arts insanity featuring a talking pooch and Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight). Despite the title of that atrocious family film, the canine protagonist was a master of kung fu. Okay, so the news that the remake won't actually be titled <em ...
