Welcome to the Legion!

And it actually looks… good? Forgive my skepticism–2014’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wasn’t my particular cup of anchovy-pizza, but the trailer for Out of the Shadows (a byline that at first glance seems a bit generic-gritty-tentpole), looks like loads of fun. There are jokes, there’s action, and from the trailer, the tone seems just about right for the heroes in a half shell.

Dave Green directs from a script by André Nemec and Josh Applebaum, the same pair that penned the first installment of the franchise reboot. Megan Fox and Will Arnett star, along with Alan RitchsonJeremy HowardPete Poszek, and Noel Fisher as Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo (with Johnny Knoxville lending his voice for the character) and Michelangelo. Tyler Perry appears as Baxter Stockman and the trailer also flaunts appearances by Stephen Amell as Casey Jones, Gary Anthony Williams as Bebop, and WWE’s Seamus as Rocksteady, classic characters from TMNT canon.

 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows comes out in theaters June 3, 2016.
