Our first glimpse into the world of TMNT: Mutant Mayhem showcases an animated universe where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles take on a new challenge.This time, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello are voiced by actual teenagers, offering a fresh perspective to their iconic characters.
As they venture into the surface world of New York City, an unprecedented danger looms over them, one that no previous incarnation of the TMNT has ever encountered.
Enter Superfly, a Fly Mutant with a Menacing Aura: The villainous figure posing a significant threat to our heroes is Superfly, portrayed by none other than Ice Cube.
Superfly is a newly created fly mutant exclusive to directors Jeff Rowe and Kyler Spears’ latest TMNT movie. It is essential to distinguish Superfly from the classic fly-themed TMNT antagonist, Baxter Stockman, who is voiced by Giancarlo Esposito in Mutant Mayhem.
Although the trailer teases an epic clash of mutants as the Turtles and their new ally, April O’Neil (Ayo Edebiri), explore life beyond the watchful eye of their mentor, Splinter (Jackie Chan), in their sewer home, it becomes evident that Superfly will be the primary threat, pushing our Turtle teens to embrace their destiny as ninja heroes.
Visually Stunning with a Grungy Aesthetic: Aside from its stunning visuals, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem impresses with a gritty and grungy aesthetic reminiscent of doodles scrawled on the sides of school notebooks. This artistic choice, a delightful departure from the cleaner style seen in recent films like Across the Spider-Verse, lends a fresh and edgy look to the TMNT universe.
Furthermore, the trailer provides a glimpse into the Turtles’ downtime, showcasing their yearning for a more normal life amidst their constant battles as mutant ninja teens. However, they must put their well-honed skills, taught by Splinter, to the ultimate test if they hope to face Superfly and his mutant mob.
