Just a few days ago, photographers spotted Whoopi Goldberg leaving the set of the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At the time, nobody knew whom she was playing, but ComicBookMovie.com revealed who it is - Bernadette Thompson, an editor at Channel 6 News and April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and Vernon Fenwick's (Will Arnett) boss.
Fans of the the 1987 animated series should be able to recognize that name as a gender-swapped version of Burne Thompson, who would constantly blame crimes in New York City on the Turtles. He clearly didn't care for them, and at times resembles J. Jonah Jameson. Even though he wasn't a fan of the Turtles, he didn't allow his feelings to prevent April from reporting on their heroics.
TMNT lands in theaters June 6th, 2014.
