Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem will star Seth Rogen with Jackie Chan, Rose Byrne, John Cena, and more
Riyadh – Asdaf News:
Jackie Chan, Rose Byrne, and John Cena will appear in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” alongside Seth Rogen.
The 40-year-old actor is producing the film and voice-acting Bebop, a mutant warthog. On Saturday (04.03.23), he revealed the rest of the all-star cast at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and introduced the lead cast members Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon, who will play the turtles Donatello, Michaelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael, respectively.
Although Rose will portray Leatherhead and John will play Bebop’s friend Rocksteady, Jackie will voice the Turtles’ teacher Splinter.
In addition, Hannibal Buress, Ice Cube, Natasia Demetriou, Ayo Edebiri, Giancarlo Esposito, Post Malone, Paul Rudd, Mondo Gecko, and Maya Rudolph have all agreed to participate as Genghis Frog, Superfly, Wingnut, April O’Neil, and Cynthia Utrom.
“We are beyond excited by this world-class talent we’ve assembled to bring these iconic, adored characters to life in a new chapter of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe,” said Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation, of the cast.
“This certainly raises the bar for this internationally renowned franchise, and we can’t wait to present this film to moviegoers.”
The film, which is being directed by Jeff Rowe, will be “very intimate,” according to a statement made by Seth.
He stated: “We managed to make it quite intimate. As the film is about teenagers, we poured a lot of our own feelings—of shyness and insecurity, of a desire to belong and be accepted, and everything else—into it.
“And as I hang out with the other crew members, I think, “We found a way to care about this,” which is fantastic.
“I was a huge fan of the “Ninja Turtles” as a child. We’re working on a lot more projects similar to this, including the “Darkwing Duck” show. How can you gradually include more and more of who you are into your work? that becomes a fun aspect of the challenge. I believe that people will like it more if you put more of yourself into it.”
The movie will debut on August 4th.–Agencies
