Actor Cast as Raphael in 'Ninja Turtles' Film

Come see who'll play as the red masked turtle!

We know Megan Fox will play as April, now we apparently know who will play as one of the turtles! According to Deadline, Alan Ritchson (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire & Smallville) will be the most aggressive turtle, Raphael. He won't be strolling around in a suit like the classic films, though. The film directed by Jonathan Liebesman will have CGI turtles. This mean the actors will do performance capture, like Andy Serkis as Gollum/Caeser, or most of the cast in Avatar.

Ninja Turtles is slated to come out June 6, 2014. Here's the plot summary on the IMDB page (I'm aware those aren't always 100%, but it beats a leaked script that everyone says is long gone, yes?):

Aliens invade Earth and inadvertently spawn a quartet of mutated reptile warriors, the Ninja Turtles, who rise up against them to defend the world.
