Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem director Jeff Rowe says that early versions of the movie included Shredder.
When you think of the various villains of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you likely think of Shredder. Although the leader of the Foot Clan has been the arch-enemy of the Turtles for decades, Shredder won’t be featured in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, but that wasn’t always the case.
While speaking with io9, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem director Jeff Rowe revealed that early versions of the movie included Shredder as the main villain.
“The early version of the film [was] very different from what you’re seeing on screen,” Rowe said. “They only attended high school for the entire movie. Shredder was a villain. It’s amazing how much time you have to make the best decision. We dropped some of it. We might have thought, “It’s not Shredder” halfway through. He’s human. He’s too big of a presence. He’s too big of a presence.’“Instead of Shredder, Mutant Mayhem
gives the villain role to Superfly, who seeks to unleash mutant dominance over humans. Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies announced that they were developing a sequel, as well as an animation series for Paramount+ titled Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which will connect the movies. Jeff Rowe previously stated that Shredder would appear in the sequel. Related
