“This is gonna be good,” says an excited Tyler Perry in his portrayal of mad scientist Baxter Stockman.
Fans get their first look at classic TMNT villains Bebop and Rocksteady, but only from the back in their mutated forms. Gary Anthony Williams and WWE fighter Sheamus portray these characters, and both are featured in our first official looks at their pre-mutated forms below. UPDATE: Full shots, jokes about having “jokes”
Stockman is most important because he’s the one who creates Bebop and Rocksteady, the classically dumb pig and rhino mutants who are a constant hassle the turtles.
Dave Green is directing the sequel, taking over from Jonathan Liebesman.
Also featured among the TMNT 2 cast are Arrow star Stephen Amell as vigilante Casey Jones, Brian Tee as Shredder, and Brittany Ishibashi as Shredder’s daughter Karai.
