Just days after learning that Bebop and Rocksteady will appear in the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it’s been revealed that Baxter Stockman will also play a major role.
In a major shocker, THR writes that Tyler Perry – yes, the director behind those awful, awful movies – has signed on to join the cast of TMNT 2.
Perry will play scientist Baxter Stockman in the new movie, directed by David Green.
Stockman is one of TMNT’s major villains (first appearing in an issue back in 1984), a scientist who first creates the Mousers, a line of rat-destroying machines. Later he becomes a mutant fly – and a cyborg in more recent incarnations.
Will Arnett and Megan Fox are reprising their roles while Stephen Amell is one of the new additions, playing Casey Jones.
Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing.
