German actor Thomas Kretschmann, best known to audiences for playing Baron Wolfgang von Strucker in Avengers: Age of Ultron, has joined the cast of the fifth and final Indiana Jones film in an undisclosed role.
It was recently announced that Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be starring alongside titular lead Harrison Ford, and that legendary composer John Williams would be working his magic for the film’s soundtrack. It has also been reported that award-winning actor Mads Mikkelsen, who portrayed Galen Erso in 2016’s Rogue One standalone film, has also joined the cast of Indy 5.
Kretschmann, who first broke out to American audiences as Hauptmann Wilm Hosenfeld in Roman Polanski’s 2002 film “The Pianist,” also played Baron Wolfgang von Strucker in 2014’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and 2015’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
Thomas Kretschmann is repped by APA, Germany’s Hoestermann and Myman Greenspan.
Lucasfilm declined to comment.
The currently-untitled fifth Indy film will be swinging into theaters on July 29, 2022.
