Back when ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’ was shooting on the streets of New York City last year, some eagle-eyed photographers spotted Megan Fox and Will Arnett with Judith Hoag. While the name may not sound familiar to young TMNT fans, the older ones will remember that the actress played April O’Neil in the original live-action films featuring the heroes in a half shell from the 1990s. However, when the film was released in theaters, Hoag’s cameo had been cut out. 

Luckily, her deleted scene will be included on the home release of the movie, which is set to drop later this month. But for the fans that are too impatient to wait until the 20th, Yahoo! Movies has shared the clip that sees Hoag play O’Neil’s boss, Rita. Though Arnett’s Vern Fenwick seems to think that the meeting is bad news, we see that it’s quite the contrary. You can check out the scene below, followed by the synopsis of the movie:

Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo are back to battle bigger, badder villains, alongside April O’Neil and a newcomer: the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones. After supervillain Shredder escapes custody, he joins forces with two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop and Rocksteady, to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater threat with similar intentions: the notorious Krang.

What do you think about seeing the two actresses that played April O’Neil on the big screen together in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’? Will you be picking up the home release of the film to check out the other special features? Sound off in the comments.
