William Fichtner is not the Shredder

We all know he said he’s playing Shredder in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, but we are now being told William Fichtner is not the Shredder.

You may now all collectively exhale.

Paramount Producer Andrew Form told Screenrant that Fichtner’s character Eric Sachs merely works for Shredder. That seems to match what we saw in the trailer, where he speaks to a shadowy figure.

And talks about taking the other dude’s armor to “the next level.”

Because the other dude in the scene is Shredder, and why were we still worrying about this.

I’m going to go get myself another Diet Coke.
