BeBop Has Been Cast in TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2
Paramount Pictures and director David Green have cast Gary Anthony Williams in the role of the villainous sidekick Bebop in their upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel. As many of you already know, Bebop was the mutated pig who was always fighting the Ninja Turtles with his rhino mutant buddy Rocksteady. Both characters work for Shredder, the arch nemesis of the mutated turtles.
The news comes from Deadline, who explains that Bebop will 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."
Williams is a character actor who has been in films and TV series such as The Internship, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, The Boondocks, Raising Hope, and The Factory. He joins Stephen Amell as Casey Jones, Megan Fox as April O'Neil, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick, and William Fichtner as Eric Sacks. Some of the newcomers to the franchise include Tyler Perry as scientist Baxter Stockman, Brian Tee as the new Shredder, and Laura Linney, who was cast in an undisclosed role.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is set to be released on June 3rd, 2016.
