It wouldn't surprise me if true…...but as Baxter Stockman of all people?

Does not sound legit to me but this is Bay we are talking about

Why not? Tyler Perry is black isn't he?
That's gotta be like the only requisite for playing the character in the Bay films. After all, look at the April casting. And they have Vernon. and nonsense.
Hey, Vernon was genius casting! Its a shame his role in Mr. Liebesman's movie was weird and creepy.

Well I guess if you look at it from that perspective.
So, I found this amusing. The show Arrow (Starring Stephen Amell, Casey Jones in the next movie) has a digital comic called Arrow Season 2.5 and the latest issue had this happen:
LOL, someone's having fun.

Jason Voorhees? Is that you?
shoot it doesn't even look like a hockey mask
I don't like the mask. Too big and specifically designed for this looking .
Long hair would've been nice, too., but not a huge deal. Better than the Nickelodeon version at least.
^ I don't think I'd recognize that guy as Casey Jones if I wasn't told.
Mullets were never in.
Casey Jones never had a mullet though.

This one could've had one though.
Freaky Casey for Freaky Turtles. Whatever.
The new episode of TMNT was great. Mondo Gecko backstory was pretty interesting and it was grea to see all of the villains watching the race during the final segment.
While I love the Live Action Movie Mikey voicing Mondo Gecko, and Mondo Gecko himself, I kinda couldn't get behind the whole death race. Especially if Shredder was watching, it felt out of character.
Shredder wasn't watching. Just the cronies were. I'm fairly certain that whole thing was a side venture for Xever to make more money on his own.
That was a long way to go to get "Cowabunga" back into Mikey's repertoire.
I'm also consistently amused/weirded out when they grab some of the really bizarre stuff from the old toy line and re-purpose it. I think Muckman, Mutagen Man, and Pizza Face have been about the most awkward examples so far, and Pizzaface showing up again in this episode felt awkward to me. (They had a couple characters in that booth that felt they didn't belong but whatever, I understand CG stock templates are what they are.)
(Also bothered that they've had "Rahzar" for a season now, but no "Tokka"… though I get they have Slash in the role already.
Wonder if Mondo will end up in the Mutanimals at some point?
Now they just need to find Man Ray/Ray Fillet, Wingnut and Screwloose, and some random other stereotypes like a jaguar and jackal man that I don't think ever got figures.
(I'm actually surprised a little more of the Archie stuff doesn't get repurposed... all those rights eventually fell to Mirage and a lot of characters got figures and then worked their way into the 80's show eventually... so it always kind of surprises me that we don't get say, Cuddly the Cowlick, Verminator-X, Queen Maligna or Ninjara ever anywhere. (And yes, I know Chris Allan held the rights to Ninjara for a while and possibly a few others, but eventually gave/sold them back.)

Speaking of characters that hasn't been used yet, Usagi Yojimbo, who apparently will not be appearing in the new series in any form due to the original character getting the rights back and no wanting to play with the animation team.
Well, Usagi Yojimbo was always a "guest" appearance. He was the star of his own series, created by another comic artist.
Yeah, Usagi was never a Turtle character, he was always a guest star, granted by permission to cameo. (Those 80's black and white furry books had to stick together ya know.)The rights and permissions were never TMNT's to lose.
Even with the action figure there were extra permissions involved.
If Stan Sakai has said no to the character guest starring this time, I would guess because its less an Eastman/Laird asking to play with him thing… and more a Nickelodeon would own him lock stock and barrell sort of thing, which of course he wouldn't want.
Interesting, Agent Bishop might be in the new TMNT movie.

Is he a normal looking guy in a trenchcoat with sunglasses?
Then of course he can be in the Bay movie!

If the speculation is true…......no.

hahaha they cast Uncle Ruckus as Bebop.
Karai is going to be in TMNT 2 now.
Then who was that in the first movie?

I love the comments; "SHREDDER DOESN'T HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT WASN'T IN THE CARTOON!!!?!?!"
Then who was that in the first movie?
Yeah! I know these movies a mess to begin with, but could they at least try to keep internal continuity?
I love the comments; "SHREDDER DOESN'T HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT WASN'T IN THE CARTOON!!!?!?!"
I'm guessing many people don't understand the concept of adoption.
hahaha they cast Uncle Ruckus as Bebop.
It's not a true TMNT movie without an "Uncle" doing a voice over.
Sheamus have been cast as Rocksteady.

Ha, while I do agree, looking at these set photos, I'm liking what they're doing with the characters.
Shredder
!
! Glad to see them going with a minimal armor and no burned face.
Karai
!
! Armor looks nice. I wish her hair was more like her hair in the IDW comics, though.
Foot Ninja
!
! There also two in the background of Karai's picture. They're going with actual ninjas this time, so that's nice.
Pre-mutation Rocksteady and Bebop
!
! Look good. Especially Bebop. I do hope Rocksteady goes more militaristic with his clothes post mutation and Bebop gets his glasses.
Baxter Stockman
!
! Looks on-point I guess. I assume he's getting an award or something, but I do hope he's not usually so fancily dressed.
Now if only the turtles could get redesigned…

interesting choice for rocksteady
I love the comments; "SHREDDER DOESN'T HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT WASN'T IN THE CARTOON!!!?!?!"
BUT ONLY THE 80'S VERSION!
Considering she's been in both cartoon series, the cgi movie, and was in the mirage comics and the video games 20 years ago…
(she was such an unfair final in turtles Tournament Fighters...)
If anything, Bebop and Rocksteady despite their omnipresence in the old cartoon, have been in less media than she has since they were basically ignored the entirety of the 2000's and only reappeared in the most recent outings. Even the Archie comic based off the cartoon only had them in a small handful of issues.
Its mostly interesting given that Shredder was kinda... killed in the first issue of the Mirage comic and it was his legacy that was more important.

Oh so Rocksteady will go from being Russian to now being Irish.
Ha, while I do agree, looking at these set photos, I'm liking what they're doing with the characters.
I'm not liking them broken images though:ninja:
Rocksteady was Russian?
Russian for "He is" :)
I don't watch the current cartoon, so it's hard for me to imagine him sounding Russian.

Maybe you'll be more accepting to Jive sounding Bebop.

Russian Rocksteady may as well be amazing, I don't know, lol. I don't really care what Bebop sounds like, but he has to snort every now and then.

Couldn't find an actual video, enjoy animatic.
One of these things I'd guess
Ah, so Rocksteady is now Boris Badenov.
Also, I wish the show looked like the storyboards. :)
Got some not so great news about Ernie Reyes Jr (Keno)
Sadly he's in hospital suffering life threatening Kidney Failure.
My hopes go to him that he recovers.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is getting a fifth season.

! Awesome to see David Tennant to voice The Fugitoid. I'm really excited to see Mona Lisa is coming to the show. She is one of my favorite TMNT characters. I'm interested to see what the Triceraton and Lord Dregg are going in their episodes.
