The television project "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" was announced on the third day after the premiere of the first part, which was released in 2014.

It is noteworthy that the main roles in the sensational film went to world-class stars. Its creation, implementation and production were engaged in the meters of the Hollywood film industry. We can say that the cocktail of celebrities involved in the implementation of the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" (2016): actors, directors, screenwriters, editors and others - is surprising. Today we would like to give him, the aforementioned cocktail, close attention, try to tell about everyone who had a hand in the creative process.
Girl always attracts attention
Fans appreciated the participation in the film of such a star as Megan Fox. She played one of the main roles. Regarding the acting skills of Fox, there was considerable debate and gossip: someone believed that Megan could not cope with her task and added charm to the film only thanks to her own beauty, and someone noted the growth of this beauty in terms of her playing on the big screen and progress in her career actresses. By the way, recently a girl can often be seen in the film adaptations of comics. Her previous successful main role was working in the famous Transformers. Perhaps a talented Hollywood diva wants to show her younger sons what their mother is capable of.
Companions of the main character
The actors of the movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2” (2016), especially those who got the main roles, are quite successful and in demand. Will Arnett played in the picture of the partner of the heroine Megan Fox, and also a justice fighter Casey Jones was added to the team according to the script. Both actors are widely known to the public for their work in the films "Armageddon", "Arrow" and others. By the way, critics noted that in the continuation of the first part of the comic strip, played on film, the characters of the main characters are rather poorly disclosed. The creators concentrated their attention on the line of the villains of the picture, and too little screen time was devoted to the good side in the film. But it is worth noting that the actors of the movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2” (2016) performed their roles professionally, replenishing the piggy bank of fantastic impressions obtained during viewing. Many fans even noted a peculiar directorial style, immersing during the session in an atmosphere of unforgettable adventures and constant expectation of a dirty trick from the villains.
Who played the turtles?
The 2016 movie list for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 also includes Noel Fisher, who played Michelangelo. The game of the Canadian handsome is quite difficult to trace due to the significant overlay of computer graphics. The same can be said of Pete Plazhek, who reincarnated as Leonardo, Jeremy Howard, who played Donatello, and James Thomas Blig, who portrayed Raphael. By the way, everyone who happened to get along in the role of turtles are not famous actors. Rather, they can be attributed to beginners. But James Thomas Blig "lit up" already in a sufficient number of works: "Sex and the City", "Mind Games", "After Reading Burn" and others.
The basketball star that appeared in the picture of Dave Green
Some actors in the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" played in the picture themselves. This story happened with Carmelo Anthony, who, according to the script, was supposed to present a small role, but quite colorful. The American basketball star, a favorite of NBA fans, and also part of the New York Knicks forward, was invited by film director Dave Green. Perhaps the bet was placed on a huge army of Anthony fans who would watch the tape only because of his participation in it. However, blasphemy would not say that after the appearance of the basketball player on the wide screen, many wanted to see the NBA star in other roles of Hollywood blockbusters, comedies and other genres.
One is playing, the other is voicing
Not all actors of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2” (2016) were engaged in voice acting of their own roles. So, for example, Danny Woodburn perfectly reincarnated on the screen as the villain Slinter, but to achieve maximum efficiency, the voice acting of his character was taken up by his colleague Tony Shalub. Tony admitted that he would love to play the role of this or any other hero in the picture of Dave Green. He hopes that in the continuation of the story of fair and invincible turtles, endowed with a sparkling sense of humor, he will be invited not only as a sound synchron.
