“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” is about the iconic turtles protecting New York against an army of criminal mutants.
Meanwhile, they will try to earn respect for their heroism and gain acceptance as normal teenagers as their journey progresses.
The “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise started as a comic book in 1984. Later, it expanded into various forms of media.
These include 90s live-action movies, numerous animated TV shows, a 2005 CGI movie, and two Micheal Bay-produced films blending live-action and CGI.
Seth Rogan’s latest installment is a CGI-animated reboot. More importantly, it will feature Jackie Chan in another Hollywood movie.
He is an actor, action choreographer, comedian, martial artist, screenwriter, producer, entrepreneur, singer, and stunt performer.
Yet, most people remember Jackie Chan for his acrobatic fighting style and use of improvised weapons during action scenes.
Moreover, the multi-talented celebrity became well-known for doing stunts himself without body doubles.
You might recognize him in classic action films like “Drunken Master” and “Rush Hour.” Nowadays, his recent roles involve fantasy and animated movies.
None of them haven’t been as well-known as his previous movies, so it would be great to see him in a major Hollywood role.
