Todd Freeman.[26] On April 27, Brian Tee joined the cast as the Shredder replacing Tohoru Masamune from the first film.[27] On April 30, Laura Linney was cast in an unspecified role.[6] On May 14, Gary Anthony Williams was cast as Bebop,[11] while on May 28, WWE wrestler Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly was confirmed to play Rocksteady.[12] On May 27, Minae Noji was replaced with Brittany Ishibashi in the role of Karai.[5] In August 2015, former WWE superstar CM Punk revealed that he lost the role of Rocksteady to Sheamus.[28] In March 2016, it was announced that Fred Armisen would voice Krang in the film.[29]
