Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Director Reveals Which Character He Wants in Future Films

Paramount Pictures is getting ready to release one of their next major films of the summer with the upcoming animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and it has definitely peaked the interest of fans. Seth Rogen is producing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem as well as lending his voice to play Bebop, and from everything we’ve seen in the trailers, this looks like a really good time at the movies. One thing that the film will be missing is an appearance from the Turtles’ arch nemesis, Shredder, but director Jeff Rowe previously hinted that the character will appear in a future film, ala the Joker in The Dark Knight. ComicBook.com’s Chris Killian recently had the chance to chat with Rowe and asked the director which character he’d like to see in a future film.

“Krang,” Rowe revealed to us in an exclusive interview. “Krang is so interesting to me. The Arnie suit. I’m like, we gotta do something with Krang.”
