Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles get a Spider-Verse -style makeover in Mutant Mayhem trailer
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back and they have a brand-new look that could have been ripped directly from the Spider-Verse.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the upcoming movie produced by "permanent teenager" Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, now has its first teaser trailer, which flaunts a similar comic book-inspired style of animation that made Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse so popular.
It's doesn't seem like a movie that takes itself too seriously, either. The Turtles are coarse, motor-mouthed teenagers while on the roof chucking ninja stars at Mikey's head for content and, in a jab at the physical appearance of our half-shell heroes, one villain remarks on how the quartet look like "Little Shreks."
The four Turtles are voiced by The Walking Dead: World Beyond's Nicolas Cantu (Leonardo), The Chi's Shamon Brown Jr. (Michelangelo), Grey's Anatomy's Micah Abbey (Donatello), and The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers' Brady Noon (Raphael).
