There are four movies based on Marvel Comics properties opening in theaters in 2014 – Captain America : The Winter Soldier will show up in March, Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Fox’s X-Men : Days of Future Past in May, with August’s Guardians of The Galaxy perhaps serving as a direct lead-in to The Avengers : Age of Ultron in May 2015.
Much of the most recent news on Age of Ultron has revolved around some of the early set footage and confirmation of the various international shooting location, along with the casting of the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S. himself, Paul Bettany, as The Vision. And later this month, an ABC special will debut footage from the sequel.
When it comes to the villains, James Spader will portray the titular evil android Ultron, and will be joined by Thomas Kretschmann (Van Helsing in NBC’s Dracula) as HYDRA member Baron Von Strucker. Not much is known about Baron Von Strucker’s role in Age of Ultron, but we have new details about Kretschmann’s involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.
Kretschmann confirmed that he will be in more than one Marvel Studios film, but appears know about as much as you or I about the story details :
“I have a multi-picture deal which means I will not only appear in the second part, but they’re planning with me for a longer period of time. But I don’t know details yet, they’re keeping their cards close to their chest – top secret!”

Kretschmann was also asked if he was anxious at all about The Avengers : Age of Ultron since it has such a huge budget.
“Oh yes, I was nervous. I was overprepared, then on the set I went up to Joss Whedon, who passes for a genius and said ‘this is my first day, this is huge, please have patience with me, I’m a bit nervous’”.

What’s interesting about Thomas Kretschmann’s comments is principal photography isn’t suppose to start until later this month, so does this mean he has already filmed a few scenes for Joss Whedon? “Action photography sequences” in South Africa began earlier this month, but none of the main cat members were expected to take part.
One big question is whether Baron Von Strucker will actually be introduced somehow in the upcoming Captain America 2. The character is traditionally a HYDRA villain and adversary of Captain America, although he has worked with Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch and even helped Black Widow become a dangerous assassin. Will Black Widow get her own solo movie and feature Baron Von Strucker? Many think Thomas Kretschmann’s Baron Von Strucker is going to play a huge part in Captain America 3, that film hasn’t been confirmed yet, but most think a third Captain America is going to happen.
