A comprehensive trailer for Jeff Rowe’s upcoming animated feature, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mayhem of Mutants, has gone live on Paramount Pictures’ official YouTube channel. The clip offers a first look at four sewer-raised mutant turtles who venture onto the streets of New York with a mission to prove themselves by helping the community and earning its trust.
In a bid to save the city, the turtles team up with their new ally April O’Neil. Together they confront a shadowy crime syndicate and a rising army of mutants, weaving together action, humor, and heart as the story unfolds across the bustling cityscape. The trailer hints at high-stakes battles, clever banter among the turtles, and a gritty tone that balances excitement with moments of genuine character warmth.
Star power shapes Mayhem of Mutants with Jackie Chan lending his voice to the wise, battle-hardened turtle mentor Splinter, while John Cena takes on the role of one of the principal antagonists, the formidable mutant Rocksteady. The voice cast also includes Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen, Giancarlo Esposito, Paul Rudd, Maya Rudolph, and music contributions from artists Post Malone and Ice Cube, reflecting a diverse and energetic creative team. Paramount Pictures has scheduled the film’s premiere at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival on June 12, signaling a global debut that will resonate with audiences across Canada and the United States. Audience anticipation is bolstered by prior trailers and clips shared by the studio, which build excitement for a fresh take on the iconic franchise that remains beloved by fans of all ages.
Earlier promotional materials featured Jackie Chan and John Cena in a separate action-packed trailer for The Bigger Way, drawing attention to the pair as a dynamic duo and hinting at the studio’s ongoing collaboration with these performers. This cross-promotion underscores Paramount Pictures’ strategy of leveraging popular talent to broaden interest and anticipation for Mayhem of Mutants across North American markets.
