Could Splinter turn out to be April's father?

[Breadcrab]

So I'm sure we've all seen the teaser trailer by now. They seem to be trying harder than ever to link April to the Turtles via this new origin story, wherein Shredder and April's father created the turtles somehow.

Which honestly got me thinking... could Splinter be her dad?

I mean, think about it.

- They haven't shown him at all in this trailer, so we don't even know how he looks like or what ethnicity he'll be. I mean hey, they whitewashed Shredder, who's to say they stopped there?
- In the interview with the screenwriter, he was vague but said Splinter would be an "important component."
- If the turtles are indeed made in some lab by Shredder and Mr. O'Neil, then it's likely that Splinter would be created by the same process, using a subject nearby.
- Him and Shredder theoretically working together and knowing each other could be some kind of set up for their rivalry.
- They've cast someone as Young April, which sounds to me like there may be a scene where her father may have 'mysteriously disappeared' when she was young.

Maybe I'm just going crazy, but the more I think about this possibility, the more scarily real it feels. Perhaps they'd set this up as a twist? Give April a "I must find out what happened to my father" motivation and then reveal that it was Splinter all along?

I could be completely wrong. I kind of hope I'm completely wrong. But what do you guys think? Would they pull something like this?
