TORONTO – Canadian actor Will Arnett has signed on to star opposite Megan Fox in the reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The movie, directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans), will combine live-action with computer-generated animation to bring the classic characters Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello back to the big screen.
It’s not known what role the Toronto-born star will play. Fox is set to portray the Turtles’ friend April O’Neil.
Arnett stars in Arrested Development on Netflix and a comedy pilot for CBS. He provides the voice of Batman in the upcoming The Lego Movie and the voice of Surly in The Nut Job.
He and actress Amy Poehler announced last September they are ending their marriage. The couple has two children.
The Ninja Turtles flick is scheduled for a June 2014 release.
