Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: All New Movies Confirmed So Far

 

🐢 TMNT’s Big-Screen Future Is Packed

For decades, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo have remained pop-culture icons — from their classic 1990s live-action trilogy to multiple animated reboots and their most recent hit, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023).

Paramount, which currently owns the franchise rights, is doubling down on the Turtles’ cinematic future. With multiple interpretations in the comics and across animation, the studio is developing several new TMNT films, each offering a different tone, direction, and target audience.

Here’s every confirmed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie currently in the works — what they’re about, who’s involved, and when we can expect them.

🐢 Live-Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reboot

🎥 A New Vision for TMNT

Paramount is also developing a brand-new live-action reboot, announced November 20, 2025.

🎬 Producer

• Neil H. Moritz (Fast & Furious, Sonic the Hedgehog)

Paramount reportedly wants to “Sonic-fy” the franchise — meaning a live-action/CGI hybrid, action-comedy tone, and broad four-quadrant appeal.

⏳ Early Development

This project is still in its infancy:

• No writer

• No director

• No cast

• No release date

Given typical development timelines, the film likely won’t arrive until 2028 or later, unless fast-tracked.

🐢 TMNT: The Last Ronin — Status Update

🗡 A Darker, R-Rated TMNT Story

Paramount had been developing a live-action adaptation of The Last Ronin, the acclaimed 2020–2022 comic series by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and Tom Waltz.

The Story

Set in an alternate dystopian future:

• Michelangelo is the last surviving Turtle

• His family was killed by the Foot Clan

• He hunts down Shredder’s grandson for revenge

🎬 Creative Team (Before Being Paused)

• Writer: Tyler Burton Smith (Boy Kills World)

• Producer: Walter Hamada

• Director in talks: Ilya Naishuller (Nobody)

🛑 Project Put on Hold

Paramount/Skydance shelved the project in early development to focus on the more family-friendly live-action reboot.

However, insiders say the studio wants to “leave the door open” to revisit it later — especially if the reboot performs well. If resurrected, The Last Ronin could serve as a bold, standalone, more adult take on the TMNT universe.
