The trailer for the upcoming sequel TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS has arrived and it is looking pretty. Reprising their roles are Megan Fox as April O’Neil, Will Arnett as Vern Fenwick, William Fichtner as Eric Sacks, Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Noel Fisher as Michelangelo, Johnny Knoxville as Leonardo, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, and Tony Shalhoub as Splinter. Stephen Amell is playing Casey Jones, Gary Anthony Williams is playing Bebop, and Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly is Rocksteady.
Bebop and Rocksteady were planned for the first film, but the creators went a different way. Amell as Casey Jones is a nice change for the actor, who plays a dark vigilante as The Green Arrow on The CW’s ARROW. The new characters look true to the comics/animated series and I’m glad they are adding these staples in the universe.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS hits theaters on June 3, 2016!
looks better than the first.
I totally agree. This nearly looks like a live-action adaptation of an episode of the animated series. Bebop and Rocksteady look perfect! Even the Turtles — while I still don’t care for the new designs — look lankier and more TMNTish now. I dig it.
Yeah. I still expect it to not be all that great. But I can find enjoyment in popcorn flicks …. but I just need it to be a tad better them previous offering to actually get that replay value. I mean I own the first …. but that don’t mean I’ll be watching it every 3 years. Ha. Thats what I need these days something that will merit such.
I like popcorn flicks, too, but the entire essence of what makes the Turtles the Turtles was missing from that first film for me. And I tried SO hard to like it because my Dad absolutely obsesses over it. He loved every minute. Maybe if I hadn’t grown up with them, it’d be different, but MY Turtles aren’t built like tanks and dropping sexual innuendo towards a sexed-up April every few minutes. This sequel looks a lot more like the Turtles that I want to see.
