Fans are loving that April O'Neil is depicted as a Black character and voiced by Ayo Edebiri in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
Fans are loving the fact that April O'Neil is Black again in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem trailer. Based on the comic book characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the upcoming animated reboot produced by Seth Rogen is expected to focus more on the teenage aspect of the Turtles.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Soon after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem trailer was released, fans took to Twitter to praise the animated movie for depicting April O'Neil as a Black character. Many shared general sentiments of support, while also arguing about whether April O'Neil was originally Black in the comics.
In 1986, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1-11 were reprinted in color and April appeared as a Caucasian woman with red hair and when the hit animated TV series debuted a year later, she was depicted the same way. This led to accusations of whitewashing, though other fans argue the apparent ethnicity change was not nefarious, and the result of a simple miscommunication between the creators.
