The Hollywood Reporter has announced today that Valkyrie and King Kong star Thomas Kretschmann has been cast as the minor villain Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. If the rumors are correct he is a prologue villain that is involved with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen). He is also a modern day H.Y.D.R.A Officer. He is also signed onto multiple movies but unknown if that means anything since all Marvel actors sign a multi-picture contract.
As we speculated before Baron Von Strucker maybe the 'Magneto' of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
BARON VON STRUCKER officially cast & WINTER SOLDIER recently had reshoots. Hmm, I wonder if we see BVS @ end of film/post credit sequence.
