AceShowbiz - Just hours after Brittany Ishibashi was announced joining the film, the actress was spotted in full costume on "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" set, giving fans the first look at the character she will portray. Other villainous characters spotted on set were Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady.
Ishibashi seemed to resemble a female version of Shredder as she plays Karai, Shredder's daughter. She donned a red-and-black leather suit with leather panels on her shoulders, arms and legs with a sword hanging on her waist. In a photo, Ishibashi walked side-by-side with her on-screen father, Shedder, played by Brian Tee. Tee was seen in full costume as Shredder both with and without a mask. Some members of Foot Clan were also spotted on the set.
Other photos give fans a first glimpse of Bebop and Rocksteady. Bebop is portrayed by Gary Anthony Williams, and Rocksteady is presumably played by professional wrestler Sheamus whose real name is Stephen Farrelly. Williams was seen talking to Sheamus, seemingly in a coffee shop. Williams sported Bebop's iconic purple mohawk.
Sheamus later confirmed his involvement in the movie by posting a photo on Twitter. In the photo, he was joined by Williams, Tee, and Mirelly Taylor. "Good night with good people in #NYC @GaryAWilliams @brian_tee @mirellytaylor," he captioned the photo.
