10 Upcoming Comic Book Movie Villains We Can't Wait To See

4. The Shredder - Ninja Turtles

There are so many things working against this reboot of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property that it will be a genuine shock if it's even passably good, though one aspect we can be sure that will succeed is William Fichtner's portrayal of the Turtles' most famous and iconic baddie, The Shredder. Even if the Michael Bay-produced film is, as many suspect, a thorough dumping on the source material, and everyone from the unknowns playing the Turtles to Megan Fox playing April O'Neil is an absolute bust, acclaimed character actor Fichtner has frequently proven himself a diverting presence in many sub-par films. Whether it's as the colorful villain in the otherwise bland Drive Angry, or as the silver-toothed antagonist in the largely inept The Lone Ranger, he has a habit for inhabiting fearsome, dangerous characters with a reptilian ease, and while not a conventional type to play the famed character, he should fit into the suit just fine.
