Paramount and Nickelodeon have finally confirmed when everyone’s favorite weapon-wielding, pizza-scoffing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be back on the big screen – though fans have got a long while to wait.
It proved a commercial and critical success, earning $180 million at the worldwide box office and pulling in hugely positive reviews (and a 95% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes). It’s no surprise then that Jeff Rowe, who co-wrote and directed the flick, will be returning for the second chapter.
While the sequel’s plot remains under wraps – or should we say shell? – for now, it’s worth noting that Mutant Mayhem ended with a tease of the turtles' most iconic enemy Shredder, which suggests he’ll appear later down the line.
“We’ll Dark Knight it,“Rowe previously joked to SFX magazine. “When you’ve grown and you’ve become confident as a teenager, to then go up against a foe that is three times scarier than anything you’ve ever seen before, that’s interesting and dramatic.”
