'TMNT Mutant Mayhem 2' Director Promises Shredder in Villain-Forward Sequel

Jeff Rowe discusses how Mutant Mayhem 2 will be villain-forward and they're having meetings about how to approach fan-favorite TMNT villain Shredder.

The Big Picture Coming up with sequels is a tough job for screenwriters and directors because you need to find a balance between giving fans what they’ve already seen and liked while also elevating the story and bringing something new into the mix. With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, there will be the extra element of bringing the most popular villain of the franchise, Shredder, to the big screen.

“That is exactly what I am trying to figure out and what my next meeting will be about. That is what we are in the thick of now. 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.

For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rowe and his team have the chance to do something similar with the Shredder. Considering that the filmmaker mentioned a “villain-forward” sequel, they might be gearing up to present the Shredder to us in ways we’ve never seen before. The sequel was confirmed even before the first movie premiered in theaters, which shows that Paramount is confident in the story that Rowe, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg want to tell.
