BeBop a-lula, we have our mutant warthog, BeBop a-lula, its Gary Anthony Williams.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 took one more step towards recreating our childhood by casting the Soul Man actor as one half of Shreddar’s bumbling henchmen BeBop and Rocksteady, reports Deadline.

In TMNT 2, BeBop will he’ll start off as a punk street thug member of a ragtag gang of misfits who acts as if he’s intellectually superior, but isn’t…that old chestnut. As and when he turns into a mutant hog and what form that role will take - Williams is a prodigious voice artist but it remains to be seen whether that implies motion capture too.

While we're on the subject, hope remains for rectangular purple shades and turtle-shell shoulder pads.

Williams joins Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Stephen Amell, Tyler Perry and Brian Tee in the Paramount sequel directed by David Green from a script by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec. Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing.

The movie is currently filming, and is set for release June 3, 2016.
