The ‘Ninja Turtles’ Are Back in First ‘Mutant Mayhem’ Trailer

There have been a lot of versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles through the years. Since their creation in the mid-1980s, there hasn’t been any significant amount of time where the Turtles weren’t popular in cartoons or comics or live-action or toys. The latest update of the concept comes from producer (and “permanent teenager”) Seth Rogen, whose new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem definitely emphasizes the teenage component of these characters.

As revealed in the film’s first teaser (which you can watch below), these Ninja Turtles aren’t burly, muscle-bound warriors; they’re gangly awkward kids who enjoy goofing off with ninja stars. One of them even wears braces! (Where do you get braces in the sewer, I wonder? Nowhere sanitary, that’s for sure.)

To go along with the younger, even more immature title characters, the film has a rough and sketchy animation style — it’s sort of the Into the Spider-Verse of Ninja Turtles. (It might also be an acknowledgement that despite the Ninja Turtles absurd popularity, this concept got its start in the world of indie comics.) In addition to producing, Rogen also voices Bebop in the film, and the eclectic cast also includes John Cena as Rocksteady, Jackie Chan as Splinter, Ice Cube as Superfly, Rose Byrne as Leatherhead, Post Malone as Ray Fillet, and Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko. The race for next year’s Screen Actors Guild Best Ensemble Performance is over.
