Fred Armisen to Voice Krang in TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2
Paramount Pictures brought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows to WonderCon this weekend. It was there they announced that former SNL comedian Fred Armisen would be providing the voice of the alien villain Krang in the movie. This is a very interesting and unexpected casting choice.
During the panel, producer Andrew Form talked about how good of a fit Armisen is for the character and says, “Anyone who’s a fan of Krang will love what Fred is doing. It’s unbelievable." So I guess that's something that fans of the film franchise have to look forward too.
As most of you already know, Krang is an alien brain warlord from another dimension who reside in a giant android exoskeleton. It's one of the most ridiculous things from the franchise, but thats why I loved the series so much as a kid!
Alan Ritchson, Jeremy Howard, Pete Ploszek, and Noel Fisher have reprised their roles as Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo. Johnny Knoxville is providing the voice of Leonardo again. The movie also sees the return of Megan Fox as April O'Neil, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick, and William Fichtner as Eric Sacks. Some of the newcomers include Tyler Perry as scientist Baxter Stockman, WWE Star Sheamus as Rocksteady, Gary Anthony Williams as Bebop, Brittany Ishibashi as Karai, Stephen Amell as Casey Jones, and Brian Tee as Shredder.
