After playing a lawyer named Tanner Bolt in Gone Girl, Tyler Perry’s next role sees him with an equally improbable name: According to Variety, Perry has joined the cast of Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel as scientist Baxter Stockman, creator of a race of robots that hunt the Turtles through the sewers of New York City. TMNT fans know that Stockman eventually becomes an insane cyborg — it’s like they say, no Good Deeds goes unpunished.
