Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael return to theaters this summer to battle bigger, badder villains, alongside April O’Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and a newcomer: the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell). Paramount Pictures has released an all-new action-packed trailer forTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. We also have a new one-sheet poster that teams all four sewer dwelling brothers as they set off to embark on an all-new adventure.
After super villain Shredder escapes custody, he joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (WWE Superstar Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly), to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater evil with similar intentions: the notorious Krang. This latest sneak peek introduces the idea of purple ooze, and tease that the Turtles might be turning human. But they won’t stay that way for long!
