I gotta agree with some comments. She looks weird and I really think its her lips. To me ALMOST doesn't even look like Megan Fox.

Recent plastic surgery gone wrong maybe...

Looks okay. At least she's not wearing a yellow jumpsuit. (Not sure what people expect as far as something that "screams April" and isn't wildly cartoonish in the vein of the Fred Wolf series.)

Still not crazy about the casting, as April's generally better off not being portrayed as a bombshell type (which, let's face it, is what Fox is typecast for). But as long as the scenes with her character aren't as blatantly sexualized and creepy as they were in, say, the Transformers movies, it's no big.

She's sizzling hot, I hope she does April justice.

Wow, I didn't know that Mikala Banes (sp?) worked as a news anchor.

That kind of thing ruins hair though.

And is she supposed to wear yellow in every scene to make fans happy? Like she's a power ranger or something?

*chrisdude* · 05-05-2013, 01:12 PM

Looks like a perfectly normal woman. Which is fine. I don't object to the wardrobe, although I wish she was wearing something that revealed her profession. People are just assuming she's playing a reporter, though I do think that's most likely.

My only complaint is the one I had when they announced her casting. Her hair looks bad. It just does. And I couldn't give two turds about April having red hair. I don't think it's the least bit important. And forcing it on her just looks lame

*CyberCubed* · 05-05-2013, 01:58 PM

April has only ever had black hair in Mirage, and Mirage April is both the ugliest and least popular April incarnation ever.

*sdp* · 05-05-2013, 01:58 PM

She looks more than fine as April, in fact I like it.

Well, to the average moviegoer, she's never had black hair at all. They're not going to be drawing that connection.

To be honest not sure where the whole red hair thing being April's default color started.

Her hair in the OT and movie trilogy was always brown. It wasn't until the 4kids cartoon that she became a red head. And then the 4th movie, IDW comics and Nick cartoon kept that color.

*TurtleTitan97* · 05-05-2013, 02:32 PM

Like others have said, Fox does look pretty good in those pics. Hopefully she'll do a good job as April.

I think OT April is so borderline brown/red, everyone just turned her into a redhead in their minds

*CyberCubed* · 05-05-2013, 03:14 PM

The only way April is a red head in the OT is if you squint. Perhaps the coloring of some of the weaker animation studios have her hair a red tint but that's it.

The 4kids series was the first universe to truly debut red head April. Just goes to show you some of the things 4kids did had a lasting affect on the franchise, such as this and making Karai into Shredder's daughter and Hun.

Haha aww it's so cute seeing you trying to be cool and sarcastic

Like a little baby trying on daddy's shoes.

It's quite common for actors and actresses NOT to look like themselves when they play roles.

So we're supposed to expect Megan Fox to completely transform herself as she takes on the part of........a white woman in her 20s. Okay?

Oooohhhhh ya got me. Mah pride.

**Jester** · 05-05-2013, 04:12 PM

But Megan Fox is not one of those actresses....

She looks fine by me. For people saying she doesn't look like April, what the heck is April supposed to look like? The only thing constant about her is being a white woman with reddish hair, and even then her hair color has changed at times.

Seems to look OK to me. I'm curious to see what the TMNT actors look like in their mocap suits.
