Possible Characters that could be introduced into the Films

2K3 · 05-05-2017, 09:52 AM

So far, out of all 6 TMNT feature films, the following major TMNT characters have been shown; The Turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Vernon Fenrick, Burne Thompson (albeit with a gender change), Shredder, Karai, Krang, Dr. Stockman, Bebop and Rocksteady. All the while, characters created from the films (Tatsu, Tokka and Rahzar) have also been incorporated into other TMNT series.
But that's just the beginning, what other popular TMNT characters would you love to see appear on the big screen?

(In before some smart aleck names off the Turtles, Splinter and April because they don't like the previous films)

I'd love to see the Tricertons, Jhanna, and the other TMNT aliens- let's have a big space adventure!

I think the characters Script and Non-Creative Bankruptcy should have a role in the next one. It might be hard to squeeze them in though.

The Rat King for me, I think he could make for an interesting addition, especially since he lives in the same sewer as them and shares a link with Splinter.

They could make an origin where the Rat King and not the Shredder is responsible for the turtles's mutation and is the main villain of the movie.

They could also introduce Leatherhead, either as a villain allied with the Rat King like in the FW series, or an ally to the turtles. I prefer the former, since a movie with Rat King as the only villain would feel a bit lacking while the turtles already have Splinter, Casey and April as their allies in all the movies. Not to mention that Leatherhead as a villain has been underused and I think has alot of potential after seeing his episodes in the old cartoon.

I agree with this. Since a reboot is inevitable, I'd love to see an origin that focused on leatherhead, or rat king, or the tricertons for the first two films, A reboot where that made the foot clan an urban myth, and there are hints and rumors to the shredder's existence, but no concrete proof. Donnie even begins to doubt Splinter's stories of an ancient ninja clan, then BAM! in the third movie, the Foot shows up and kicks their collective tails in! IDW did this in the first twelve issues, and I think it would be a neat way to do the foot clan in a new trilogy, with the showdown for vengeance with shredder being the big finale.

At least, Rat King could be behind Splinter's mutation when trying to mutate his rats he'd found in the sewers.

Irma?

Really?

Some of you would care about that character?

*FredWolfLeonardo* · 05-05-2017, 01:04 PM

Irmas pretty much a tv show only character who worked best in the Channel Six setting, almost like a sitcom on its own. Im glad the Nick show didnt use her beyond being a Kraang droid and I wouldnnt be looking forward to seeing her in any movies.

Same with Vernon and Burne, although I still enjoyed Vernons portrayal in the PD films, even if its not for the same reasons I enjoyed the original.

Rat King comes to mind for me.

*Wildcat* · 09-17-2018, 10:52 PM

I voted mutagen man. Looks like I’m the only one. Never thought of it but it be cool seeing that in live action. I’m good with anyone though.

*Metalwolf* · 12-07-2018, 12:57 PM

I voted 'Rat King.' He'd be good as an interim villain in a trilogy, before they revive Shredder for the big moment in the third.

Triceratons sound like they should be for an entire 2nd trilogy.

Leatherhead better get his tail into a TMNT movie sometime.

And Fugitiod. We have the technology for a CG robot of his frame to not look weird.
