He stated the characters are "fundamentally different" from one another, but that Casey did resemble Oliver from older versions.[21] On April 23, Tyler Perry was cast as scientist Baxter Stockman replacing K. Todd Freeman.[22] On April 27, Brian Tee joined the cast as the Shredder replacing Tohoru Masamune from the first film.[23] On April 30, Laura Linney was cast in an unspecified role[4] On May 14th, Gary Anthony Williams has been cast as Bebop,[9] where on May 28th, WWE wrestler Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly was confirmed to play Rocksteady.[10] On May 27th, Minae Noji was replaced with Brittany Ishibashi in the role of Karai.[3] In August 2015, former WWE superstar CM Punk revealed that he lost the role of Rocksteady to Sheamus.[24]
