One of summer’s most eagerly awaited animated theatrical launches, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, is heating up fan excitement with a spate of brand-new character posters and “Meet the Cast” featurette from Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Movies. The new CG-animated action-adventure from Seth Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures unleashes its gene spliced action on the big screen August 2.
After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.
The set of 17 character spotlight posters features the other mutants lurking in N.Y.C.’S nooks and crannies: Hannibal Buress as Genghis Frog, Rose Byrne as Leatherhead, John Cena as Rocksteady, Jackie Chan as Master Splinter, Ice Cube as Superfly, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, Post Malone as Ray Fillet, Seth Rogen as Bebop and Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko.
These fantastical denizens are accompanied by Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil, Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter Stockman and Maya Rudolph as Cynthia Utrom.
And, of course, our plucky teen testudines: Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo and Brady Noon as Raphael.
The featurette video includes voice star/executive producer Rogen introducing the voices of Raph, Donnie, Leo and Mikey, as well as director Jeff Rowe (The Mitchells vs. the Machines), Chan, Edebiri and the whole gang. (Watch it below!)
