Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows Preview

We are about two weeks away from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows everybody! I have been excited to talk TMNT ever since I started writing for this site and you should  expect more articles regarding TMNT once the show comes back for the second half of its fourth season soon. That’s in the future though. For now, lets take a look at TMNT 2 and what you should expect to see in it!

For me and many other fans of the Ninja Turtles one thing we are looking forward to most is the first appearances of Bebop and Rocksteady in a live-action film. Bebop and Rocksteady were two characters first introduced in the original Ninja Turtles cartoon. They have also been featured in the most recent cartoon series.

They are two henchman of Shredder who just happen to be a rhino and warthog. They actually were originally human though, similar to Master Splinter. I would be excited to see these characters in any form but I am even more excited to see a person I am a fan of play one of them. If you have read any of my articles for this site before, you know I am a giant wrestling fan. Rocksteady will be played by former multiple time champ, Sheamus. It will be an exciting time to finally see these two on the big screen together.

Two other frequent villains of the Turtles will also make their live-action film debuts. Those two being Baxter Stockman and Krang. Stockman is an evil scientist and Krang is essentially a brain in a body but Krang is arguably number one on the list of people you don’t want to mess with in the world of TMNT. It could be argued that Stockman was in the last film but I don’t believe he even had a line.

These two characters actually worry me quite a bit. Brad Garrett is playing the role of Krang. I enjoy Garrett’s work but I don’t think he will make a particularly good Krang. They have recently used Roseanne Barr and Gilbert Gottfried as Krang Prime and Subprime, so they could have chosen worse than Brad Garrett. Fred Armisen would have been interesting in the role, but I don’t think he would have been a particularly good Krang either. In my opinion, nothing will ever beat the 80’s version voiced by Pat Fraley.

As I mentioned previously, I am also a bit worried about the actor playing Baxter Stockman. Tyler Perry will be the one playing Stockman and I can’t think of a time where I have seen him not play an elderly woman in a dress. That being said, I enjoyed the little pieces we’ve seen of Stockman in the trailers. He looks like he may be playing the role a bit overboard but he seems to be having fun with it.

We are also getting Casey Jones in this film. Casey Jones is the best friend of the Turtles that isn’t named Splinter or April O’Neil. I use the term friend somewhat loosely though. Him and the turtles have their arguments but he is a great ally to them on many occasions.

Stephen Amell will be playing Jones. Amell is best known as the Green Arrow aka Oliver Queen. I loved the first season of the show but did not enjoy the second season and have not watched since. Amell is the star but is rarely the best part of the show in those seasons. I’m highly intrigued to see him play the role of Casey Jones. I think he can knock it out of the park. I think he’s a talented actor. It’s just for whatever reason I don’t love the character of Oliver Queen.

Aside from that, almost everyone from the first film will be returning and we will also see an increased role for Karai, the daughter of Splinter who thinks she is the daughter of Shredder.

I loved the first film in this series and expect to enjoy this one even more. Not only do we get Shredder, Stockman, Bebop and Rocksteady. We also get Krang coming down from Dimension X to fight the Turtles as well! You can’t ask for much more than that!

Super Bowl Ad Reveals ‘Krang’ In ‘TMNT 2’

The Super Bowl is here and of course when we should be watching the game we can’t help but Geek out over those Ad’s – however brief.

This year those heroes in a half-shell got in on the action when a brief trailer dropped for Michael Bays TMNT: Out of the Shadows revealing that super-villain Krang will indeed be in the sequel.

Krang will be most familiar with fans of the 80’s cartoon, a Warlord from Dimension-X who found himself banished to Earth without his body and reduced to a brain-like form. It had been suspected that the long-standing nemesis to the turtles would appear after concept art leaked revealing the character.

TMNT 2 sees our mutant-heroes Leonardo (Johnny Knoxville), Donatello (Jeremy Howard), Raphael (Alan Ritchson) and Michelangelo (Noel Fisher) return to once again stop Shredder (Brian Tee) while battling an Alien Invasion that presumably answer to Krang.

Megan Fox will reprise her role as April O’Neil alongside Will Arnett’s comic relief Vern Fenwick, with fan favourite Casey Jones making his debut played by Arrow actor Stephen Amell.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows will hit screens June 3, 2016.
