Krang Confirmed for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2
It has previously been rumored that the evil alien Krang would make an appearance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Well, now producer Michael Bay has confirmed it! During an interview with Rolling Stone, Bay talks about the weird brain creature with the effects team working on the film about how the character will look. Here’s the part of that interview:
“They start with Ninja Turtles animation. Pablo Helman, a visual-effects supervisor who worked on the Star Wars prequels, appears onscreen and shows Bay the latest version of Krang, a new-to-the-movies villain who is, essentially, a disembodied brain inside a giant robot. ‘So we've eliminated the tentacles,’ Helman explains. ‘Is it too monster-ish?’
“‘He could have some tentacles,’ says Bay. ‘I just don't want them coming out of the side. He looks like a stupid octopus.’”
So at least we know that Krang won’t look like a stupid octopus! A lot of people are excited for this sequel. Hopefully, it lives up to their expectations. Are you happy to know that Krang will be introduced into this next chapter of the story?
Alan Ritchson, Jeremy Howard, Pete Ploszek, and Noel Fisher will reprise 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.
The movie is being directed by Earth to Echo‘s David Green, and it will be released on June 3rd, 2016. For all of the previous TMNT 2 news we've posted, click here.
