Superb character actor William Fichtner had a major role in the previous Turtles film as the villainous Eric Sacks, and Fichtner himself confirmed a while ago that he would be appearing in the next film.

However, despite Fichtner still being mentioned in most cast listings online, he doesn't appear at all in the final movie, his absence not being remotely explained, so the viewer is basically left to assume that he's still rotting in jail somewhere.

Considering that Fichtner is signed on for three movies, will he actually end up being used in the inevitable third one, or has his character been quietly scrapped for reasons unknown?
