The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel has found its Baxter Stockman. The role of the scientist will be played by none other then Tyler Perry. Brace yourselves, mousers are coming. It will be interesting to see if he stays human or undergoes his famous mutation into the humanoid fly (as seen front he original animated series above).

In addition to getting a big screen version of Stockman, as well as Rocksteady and Bebop, the nerd world rejoiced at the casting of Stephen Amell as Casey Jones.  Megan Fox and Will Arnett are also set to return to the sequel.

For those of you not familiar with Perry’s film and TV works, your life is probably better for it. No word yet on if he will portray Stockman as a stereotypical older black woman or if they will change the name of the movie to Tyler Perry’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Stay tuned to FTN for all your mutanty, ninja-y and turtle-y news.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
