TMNT is the only question mark. How much longer IDW will hold the license, what the next big live-action TMNT movie could be.

The only thing that's different now is the comic book factor, the question of if they'll let the IDW license expire and publish TMNT at their in house studio, DC. Skydance already bought Paramount and thus bought the TMNT well over a year ago now so the people at the top with TMNT post-WB acquisition are the same people at the top that they were that well over a year ago. And we've already seen what the Skydance people did when they took charge. They cancelled the Last Ronin movie and apparently greenlit both Mutant Mayhem 2 and 3. But then also this nebulous new live action movie with, what was it, SNL writers?

Netflix doesn't need to get any bigger. It's a fine size. They need to work on their quality control first.
