Superfly Works Up The Coup Rage In Official 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' Trailer
There's a whole world out there for turtles to get girlfriends. They're the world's most mutant karate teens.
Well, it’s here! After promising it last week when unveiling posters and the moving release date, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies released the official trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, allowing fans to get a visual idea of what the plot of the film actually is.
The trailer starts with the turtles, Leonardo (voiced by Nicolas Cantu), Raphael (Brady Noon), Donatello, and Michelangelo returning to the sewer from a pizza run out on the town to their father, the rat Splinter, voiced by Jackie Chan, who is understandably not a fan of the term “ratting out”. Over some fun, the turtles contemplate what they would want their lives to be like if they were able to be part of regular society, like going to high school and having girlfriends, even as unlikely as it is. For once, as intended, the brothers sound like actual teenagers. Meeting April, voiced by Ayo Edebiri, she learns about Splinter and his ratness through a lampshaded suspiciously specific denial. Then, we learn that it’s Superfly, voiced by Ice Cube, behind the mysterious crime syndicate, ready to unleash the army of mutants. The anti-mutant sentiment is too much for them, so he believes it’s time for the mutants to take over. So it’s the Turtles’ job to stop them, and Raph definitely doesn’t have an anger problem. Cowabunga.
This trailer was the best look we’ve gotten at the mutants thus far, including executive producer Seth Rogen as Bebop, Hannibal Burress as Genghis Frog, Rose Byrne as Leatherhead, John Cena as Rocksteady, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, Post Malone as Ray Fillet, Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko. The cast also includes Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter Stockman and Maya Rudolph as Cynthia Utrom. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is directed by The Mitchells vs. the Machines co-director Jeff Rowe and also comes from Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures, and is set to be released in US theaters on August 2. This new trailer, which can be watched below, is expected to be first attached to Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, opening this week.
