CM Punk Auditioned For Role In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2

Former professional wrestler CM Punk might be up for a role in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.

Punk, an outspoken comics fan and budding comics writer, delivered the news himself at a special spotlight panel during this past weekend's Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (C2E2). While discussing potential projects, Punk let it slip that he recently auditioned for a role in 2016's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Punk wouldn't reveal the role, which is still officially uncast, however.

With the role of Casey Jones already claimed by Stephen Amell, it's tough telling who Punk could play. The next obvious roles would be Shredder's mutated soldiers, Bebop and Rocksteady, who were just confirmed for the film. But if Punk were to portray the anthropomorphic villains, he would most likely do so in a motion capture role. Given Punk's athleticism and with an upcoming bout in UFC, we'd expect the role to allow him to throw a few punches.

Who do you think Punk might play in the new Ninja Turtles film? Speculate in the comments below.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 opens on June 3, 2016.
