New CGI movie

That does make logical sense.

Could be they're taking the "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" track with it. "It's a sequel to the show you watched as kids back in the '80s! Except, y'know... it totally isn't. Except for a few ways it kind of is, if you squint. It's just like you remembered it! Except, y'know, made by completely different people and with a totally different style and execution. But, y'know, other than THAT... it's TOTALLY the same, you guys!"

I wouldn't be shocked if it were "The Next Chapter" of the Turtles' lives after the end of the FW cartoon. Except, like MOTU: R, it won't "really" be that, for various reasons, it will just be "close enough if you squint and pretend real hard". Like for example how MOTU: R had to ignore the existence of She-Ra completely for legal/rights reasons, along with leaving out or ignoring huge chunks of other Filmation He-Man lore because it didn't fit the story they were telling with this new series, I expect they'd do the same for a "Next Chapter" of the FW TMNT cartoon. For example, if they do it, you can bet "Red Sky" will be ignored completely since most people never saw it and even fewer liked it. They'll probably ignore the end of the last pre-Red Sky season, too, and just jump in like it's "business as usual" for the TMNT except "a few years later".

But yeah, I can't see them LITERALLY doing a 1:1 direct continuation of FW, 4Kids, any of that stuff. But I CAN see them doing a movie that's a vague, "kinda/sorta/not literally" continuation a'la "Revelation". But it still wouldn't literally be "a direct sequel" because they'd most certainly ignore/retcon stuff people don't know about or didn't like, such as Red Sky, and also will most likely have a completely different art style and presentation. They will probably keep the same theme song, though, albeit a redone or "remixed" version.

Anyways, yeah, from a marketing standpoint there's no reason to call it "The Next Chapter" unless it's going to loosely follow something we already know about. FW is the only TMNT anyone in the casual audience cares about, so there's your answer, that's what it will be. Probably.

FW TMNT, through the Seth Rogen filter. Hmm. Thanks, I hate it!
