Tyler Perry is set to join the cast of Paramount and Michael Bay’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2,” where he will play scientist Baxter Stockman.

Megan Fox and Will Arnett are on board to reprise their roles in the sequel, while “Arrow” star Stephen Amell was recently cast as Casey Jones. David Green is directing.

Okay then....

I guess this isn't any weirder than William Fitchner as Shredder though.

 

[Platy]

Casey Jones, Baxter,Rocksteady and Beboop

Lets hope for more Turtles action

 

[Piano]

He was actually really, really good in Gone Girl.

 

[JDSN]

He was great in Gone Girl, but its Michael Bay so im expecting a lot of fuckery and outdated slang.

 

[strafer]

He was actually really, really good in Gone Girl.

Yup.

 

[Mushroomer25]

I'm not sure why, but I laughed hysterically for about a solid minute when I first saw the headline "Tyler Perry joins Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2."

 

[SigmasonicX]

Since I'm sure someone will ask about it, Stockman was black in the original comics and in TMNT 2003 (not sure about others), even if he wasn't in the 80's cartoon.

 

[Ithil]

Setting that bar high.

Yeah, the 1987 cartoon is the only version in which Baxter was white, not black.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

If he actually turns into the fly-man, this could be great.

 

[Salsa]

I doubt he'll turn

considering this film has Bebop and Rocksteady tho I wouldnt doubt him turning for movie 3

I want Mousers on screen

 

[Scavenger]

Please no Fly Baxter. I hope Baxter is like the 2K3 version in which he loses limbs as punishment as the story goes on.

Good actor, hopefully he doesn't have to deal with a shit script. (lol)

 

[Fury451]

Came to say this. Surprisingly so.

 

[Mesoian]

Good actor, hopefully he doesn't have to deal with a shit script. (lol)

I guess this means robo-baxter. I'm okay with that I guess.

Let's discuss how surprisingly good he was in Gone Girl.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Ha, that's actually not a bad choice.

 

[Slayven]

They changed him to white because they didn't want a black dude to be subservient to an apparent white dude

 

[Siegcram]

Have they already announced the Turtles Cinematic Universe?

 

[jett]

Sure, why not, whatever. They could cast Denzel Washington, nothing is gonna save a Platinum Dunes production from non-awfulness.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Tyler Perry is better when he's not in his own movies.

Color me intrigued.

 

[Snaku]

He was a highlight in Gone Girl. I'm ok with this.

 

[richiek]

Not a white dude, a Japanese dude voiced by a black dude.

 

[Arkeband]

In before "His portrayal of ICONIC villain Baxter Stockman will ruin the whole franchise!"

 

[Slayven]

Not a white dude, a Japanese dude voiced by a black dude.

key word "apparent"

It was the 80s, everyone was on coke

 

[Hystzen]

He was great in Gone Girl, but its Michael Bay so im expecting a lot of fuckery and outdated slang.

Still people coming out with this? You would think after first film being released and the fact OP does not mention Michael bay and even has the director who is not Michael bay people would stop thinking Bay has anything do with these films.

Anyway actually solid casting but eh film needs improve a lot due to how weak first film was.

 

[Platy]

???

Michael Bay is producing it and his own production company is making it.

 

[Slayven]

Best Baxter

Culminating in Turtles Forever 2!

 

[Nudull]

Weren't they going to cast Mos Def?

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

As long as he isn't being sassy.

 

[jett]

Weren't they going to cast Mos Def?

Mos definitely not, obviously.

For reference, current representations of the character:

IDW Stockman:

Nickelodeon Stockman:

I guess maybe mousers will be in this new movie? I wonder, if they are, if they'll be giant robots. I have a feeling.

That art isn't the best representation of IDW stockman.

 

[harSon]

Let's discuss how surprisingly good he was in Gone Girl.

Its not surprising. You could tell he could act in his straight faced non-Madea roles that he directed. He just can't write or direct.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Nickelodeon Stockman:

That man seems really upset at NeoGAF.

 

[Hystzen]

I guess maybe mousers will be in this new movie? I wonder, if they are, if they'll be giant robots. I have a feeling.

He probably be person who designed and built the Robo Shredder amour we saw in first film

 

[metalslimer]

I expected to hate him Gone Girl and he was really great.

 

[NastyBook]

He was actually really, really good in Gone Girl.

Nah, bruh. You gotta shit on his movies to make this a true Tyler Perry thread. Go on, DO IT.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Honestly, when I was watching the first film, I was left wondering why they didn't just make Fichtner's character Stockman instead of making him some original character who was totally meant to be Shredder before the internet got pissy and they split them into two separate characters, which weakened them both.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

Couldn't get past 20 mins into the first movie so I'm not too worried about what they do with this, but Tyler Perry is like 6'4? Foot to high for my tastes.

 

[pixelation]

A bit OT but... here's to hoping that they modify the turtles looks to make them slightly less off-putting...

 

[JDSN]

Oh, Michael Bay is not producing the sequel? Raphael was not corny as shit in the last film? Guess im mistaken then.

 

[Ovid]

I expected to hate him Gone Girl and he was really great.

Why would you want to hate him?

 

[Tom_Cody]

He was actually really, really good in Gone Girl.

+1

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Why would you want to hate him?

Hellur?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Stephen "Salmon Ladder" Amell is in this and you put Tyler Perry in the title? What the hell man?
