This source said that the production recently filmed a scene last week involving a number of extras and the character's arrival on Earth through a portal.
Krang was created for the 1980's animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, and is a warlord from another dimension, called Dimension X, who commanded a massive army. After losing his body, he came to Earth where he met Shredder. The Turtles' adversary teamed up with Krang and, by doing so, agreed to construct a new body for him in exchange for use of his high-tech base, known as the Technodrome.
Although Krang didn't appear in Nick and Paramount's first "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie in 2012, concept art of Krang, as well as Bebop and Rocksteady, revealed what he would've looked like if the filmmakers had decided to feature him.

Additionally, Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Gary Anthony Williams has joined the cast of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", where he'll star as one of the franchise's longstanding villains, 'Bebop'! A mutated Warthog almost always paired off with a fellow mutant, 'Rocksteady', Bebop is a henchmen of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" arch villain Shredder (and thus is a quasi-member of the Foot ninja clan.) In TMNT 2, he'll start off as a punk street thug member of a ragtag gang of misfits who acts as if he's intellectually superior, but isn't.
