Irish star set to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain

WWE’s Sheamus is set to star as one of the main villains in the next TMNT movie.

That’s right folks, Cabra’s Sheamus is set to follow in the Hollywood footsteps of The Rock, as it has been revealed that he will play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain Rocksteady in Dave Green’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Last night, the man himself tweeted out a pic featuring Gary Anthony Williams, who is set to play Bebop the humanoid warthog, Brian Tee, who will play Shredder, and Mirelly Taylor, whose role has not yet been confirmed...

Megan Fox and Will Arnett will reprise their roles for the sequel, which is set for release in summer 2016. We can’t wait to see how Sheamus looks as a humanoid rhino. He's certainly the right size for the role. You can check out the first sneak peek pic of Sheamus as Rocksteady over on the Daily Mail.
