During a recent interview with Empire, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem director Jeff Rowe explained his decision to save the most iconic villain from the franchise. He said, “Shredder used to be the main villain [in Mutant Mayhem] before we pivoted away from that. They saved the Joker for The Dark Knight…The one thing I can say without spoiling anything is, [Shredder] needs to be 100 times scarier than Superfly — who is a credible villain, he’s dangerous, he’s strong, he seems like he could mess the Turtles up. Shredder needs to be that, just significantly more It’ll be really interesting to see these fun-loving characters go up against something that maybe they can’t stop.” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is available on Paramount+ now.
