Gary Anthony Williams (whose list of television and animation credits is impressive and massive) has joined the cast of the next NINJA TURTLES movie as BeBop. I believe BeBop was mulled for inclusion in the 2014 picture - plans which were essentially re-purposed for use here.
BeBop is a swine-like creature who looks something like a Gamorrean Guard fused with one of Walter Hill’s ‘Warriors.’ He usually hangs out with a Rhino-guy named Rocksteady (of course he does!), who is also to appear in this film, although that character’s casting has yet to be announced.
In TMNT 2, he’ll start off as a punk street thug member of a ragtag gang of misfits who acts as if he’s intellectually superior, but isn’t.
…says Deadline HERE.
And then he’s drafted by Shredder and becomes a pig, I guess. How can I not love a job which lets me write sand share descriptions like these?
Look for the next installment of the Bayverse TURTLES rot arrive on screens June 2016.
