If you’re loving the resurgence of TMNT, you’ll be happy to hear that Seth Rogen has teased a little update on the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
Apparently there’s now a full-storyboarded animatic the team have been working on, and there’s a title. Rogen seems pretty pumped about it, too.
Here’s what Rogen had to say during an interview with ComicBook.com:
There is a title, and it’s awesome, but I don’t think I can say it. But when it came up on the screen, I stood up and cheered. There’s an animatic — there’s a storyboarded version of the whole movie, so they’re working on it right now.
We don’t have a lot of info on the plot of the sequel right now, but we do know it’s going to introduce Shredder as the main villain, and that will be the main driving force of the story.
According to director Jeff Rowe:
Shredder is just a great character. He’s an iconic, classic, loved character. He’s like the Joker. You know who he is, even if you’re not a fan of the source material.
I think we definitely wanna do a villain-forward film. We’re currently trying to make decisions about that, but those decisions for us as filmmakers are always going to come from the place of what tells the best story, specifically about our main characters, the Turtles.
Rowe has also teased that Shredder will “100 times scarier than Superfly” so that’ll be interesting!
