Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Gets New Character Posters Ahead Of August Premiere

Over the years there have been many incarnations of our favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem aims to distinguish itself by leaning toward its Mutant Element and casting actual teenagers for the main roles, it’s a breath of fresh ooze filled air to me!

According to a new interview with the film’s director, Jeff Rowe, their main focus was to go deeper emotionally than maybe other previous iterations. They spent a lot of time focusing on the characters and making them lovable and relatable and feel authentic. Along with new character posters, there was a new behind-the-scenes video released for the occasion.

Mutant Mayhem stars Nicholas Cantu (Leonardo), Micah Abbey (Donetello), Brady Noon (Raphael), Shamon Brown Jr. (Michelangelo), Jackie Chan (Splinter), and Ayo Edebiri (April). For villains, it features Paul Rudd (Mondo Gecko), Rose Byrne (Leatherhead), Giancarlo Esposito (Baxter Stockman), Post Malone (Ray Fillet), Natasia Demetriou (Wing Nut), Ice Cube (Superfly), Maya Rudolph (Cynthia Utrom), John Cena (Rocksteady), and Seth Rogen (Bebop). Here is a fun fact about one of the stars involved in this film, John Cena also portrayed another TMNT Villain in the Nickelodeon Animated Series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as Baron Draxum. The film is directed by Jeff Rowe, one of the directors of Netflix’s The Mitchells vs. the Machines, and Kyle Spears, a storyboard artist also from The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a reboot of the film series, and it is based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are still going strong, with numerous animated shows, films, video games, manga, and merchandise.
