The sequel to Mutant Mayhem remains to be due out September 17, 2027.
First launched again in 2020, The Last Ronin includes a dystopian world in which all however one of the Turtles have perished, drawing inspiration from God of Warfare amongst different works.

The final live-action or live-action / animation hybrid Turtles film was 2016’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, which flopped at the field workplace. Profitable animated Turtles motion pictures, together with 2023’s Mutant Mayhem, adopted.
Paramount has reportedly drafted in Neal H. Moritz, the producer of The Quick and the Livid and Sonic film franchises, to lead this new Turtles cost in a bid to “totally unlock its potential,” THR stated.
Given the success of the Sonic movies, you’ll be able to see why Paramount would need to get the producer accountable to repeat the trick with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
