After she was spotted on the set of the Michael Bay-produced comic book adaptation earlier this week, Whoopi Goldberg’s identity in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has reportedly been revealed at Comic Book Movie.”But today, I was contacted by a source who informed me that Whoopi Goldberg will be playing Bernadette Thompson, an editor at Channel 6 News and more importantly, April O’Neil (Megan Fox) and Vernon Fenwick’s (Will Arnett) boss,” the site reports, noting that it’s a gender- and race-swapped version of a character from the ’80s cartoon but that it’s likely Bernadette will retain the nickname “Bern,” so that it sounds like Burne Thompson, the original character.The size of the role set aside for the Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar and Tony Award-winning actress is as-yet-unknown, but much of the set photography so far has revolved around the TV station.
