Are you excited for the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem? If so, good news; it’s coming out on… oh, it’s been moved again.
On Friday, Variety revealed the film’s been moved by Paramount to August 13, 2027. That’s a ways away, but at least this new date moves it a month up from its previous date of September 17 that same year. And before that, you might remember it was first scheduled to hit theaters later this year on October 9. So at time of writing, we’re on our third release date, with the potential for more in either direction on the horizon.
All this shifting is eventful for a movie we haven’t seen or know anything about, other than that it’ll pit this latest incarnation of the Turtles against the Shredder. Mutant Mayhem 2 is far from the only movie to hop around on the calendar, but the announcement is funny after the recent news of Paramount recommitting to the Ninja Turtles as a property. Sometime after this Mutant Mayhem sequel hits, we’re supposed to get a big expansion of the franchise with licensed restaurants, a web series for kids, and a live-action/animated movie due out in 2028. Maybe. We’ll see.
While you’re waiting for Mutant Mayhem 2, you can go ahead and watch the original film, or the short film Chrome Alone 2 – Lost in New Jersey, which is on Paramount+ as a special feature for the first Mutant movie. It came last year, and it sounds like fans who saw it liked it.
