This Is Your Le Clerq, Agent 47

Ooh...maybe we will not have to wait too long to see lots of Thomas Kretschmann on the big screen.

The actor has signed on to join Rupert Friend and, evidently, Zachary Quinto, in Agent 47, the reboot of the 2007s Timothy Olyphant vehicle Hitman.

Kretschmann will play Le Clerq, the chairman of an international organization set on creating an army of unstoppable agents that only Friend (in the titular role that went to Paul Walker before he died last fall) will be able to stop.

Btw, Quinto is playing another villain in the project, which is based on a popular console game of some sort.
