Maybe Ernie Reyes Jr. could be Shredder! That'd be interesting.

What!? That's a great idea! If he has to be " young " looking that could be a cool turn of events keno as the shredder...

If age didn't matter ken watanabe would be my choice.

Ernie Reyes Jr. = No Buys!

You guys mentioned Jackie Chan but not Jet Li? He would make a badass Shredder IMO. A little short maybe....and getting up there in age.....

James Earl Jones!

...for the voice...

Ever occur to you that Watanabe (or any "ancient" actor of Oriental descent) could play Oroku Saki and the studio could put a stuntman in a Shredder suit? Nah, didn't think so.

Brilliant indeed.

Ken Watanabe

Ng Chin Han
Lee Byung Hun
Daniel Dae Kim
Tony Jaa
Billy Zane

Ken or Lee. Lee was pretty badass in GI joe and The Good, The Bad, and the Weird.

Oh yeah I can see it. He's tall, part japanese, and not that old.

How about Tadanobu Asano?

He's a 38 year old Japanese actor. He was in Thor last year.

All I care about is Hollywood can cast the right ethnicity for once. Oroku Saki is Japanese, keep him that way.

¡¡¡KEN WATANABE FOR SHREDDER!!!

Whoever did Aku in Samurai Jack should do Shredder.

I'd be great if Geddy Tarkovski did a hand drawn cell animation feature length Turtles flick.

Recreate the style of the Fred Wolf Cartoon and do it well this time with as much attention to detail in each frame as Korgoth the Barbarian, or Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind.

me too. That would be so cool. Watching heroes go to the dark side is fun. My favorite part of the original Superman movies is when Superman turns into evil Superman and starts drinking.

but I think the purists would go insane. Which is sad they can't let the Turtle lore evolve into something different and possibly better. If you can live with 3 toes and pre-teen April, What's the problem with Keno turning into the Shredder.

Ken Watanabe would be an amazing Shredder. A tad old, but I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Now, another actor who I think may be able to pull it off, although he's much older, is George Takei. He has an amazing, rich voice, and I know he's a trained swordsman. For most action scenes, he could use a stunt double, plus, he's just plain awesome.

Im agree too! I saw his pics on internet and he will be a great Shredder too.

Yes. The first time George Takei sees the Turtles, he can say - "Oh my"

LOL

It would be badass! It seem like he's really into. Saw this on twitter.

Let's not forget - SKILLS. Not only is he someone who fits the description, has a history with the franchise, but Ernie Reyes Jr can shred like the shredder. It seems like a lot of times people forget about the marital arts aspect (which is important since NINJA is in the title) Ernie is better than most pure stunt man anyway. Watch the Rundown and imagine a shredder helmet on him. One word - badass. Wait a minute........Ok two words that form a compound word - badasss
