Oh sure, if they really nail the first movie in a series they can - in theory - go in whatever direction they want after that. But realistically, Shredder is always gonna be the Main Villain of the series and that's just the way it is. Even if they did one or two other movies with different villains they'd still have to cycle him back in eventually.

It's like Lex Luthor in Superman movies. You don't HAVE to use him every single time, but whenever you don't, you get an annoying number of people asking Why Not. So it's always gonna come back to that because it's what people are familiar with.

There's ways to do it without making it feel redundant, but... they actually FIRST just have to do a decent movie in general. The rest comes later.
