Cowabunga! A new character will apparently make his debut in the upcoming season of Nickelodeon‘s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” TV series.
But instead of saving New York City from chaos, he will fight against our beloved heroes in a half-shell.
According to The New York Post, Mark Hamill will guest-star in the 5th season of the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” series as Kavaxas, “a hotheaded dragon-man with mystical powers”.
Also known as the “Demodragon of the Underworld”, Kavaxas will join forces with “some of the Turtles’ worst foes to bring chaos to NYC”. Details regarding Hamill’s voice role are undisclosed, but the actor took to Twitter to offer fans a first look at the character’s designs with loose sketches of the baddie.

This is certainly not the first time that Hamill has provided a voice for a character in an animated series.
The “Star Wars” actor began his voice-acting career in 1992 by providing the voice of The Joker in “Batman: The Animated Series”. He went on to work on several other animated series such as “Ben 10: Omniverse” and “DreamWorks Dragons”, further gaining a reputation as a prolific voice actor.
The 5th season of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” will premiere in November this year while Season 4 will air this month. The sequel to the live-action adaptation of the show is due to be released on 2nd June 2016.
