“There were a lot of frustrating issues with the first one, as both a viewer and as someone being in the movie who knows what they chose to edit out,” [Pete] Ploszek mentioned. “We all know that we’re lucky to be back. We made money but we’re actually now making what we should’ve made the first time.” Which Howard bluntly defined: “the first movie was one-third turtles, this one is two-thirds turtles.”

Spoiler:

The actors said they’re taking the fans’ favorite scene from the first film, the elevator scene, and trying to get that playful team spirit throughout the sequel. “You’re really going to see four brothers being brothers, and fighting and trying to make up and telling each other how they feel,” Ploszek said. “We’re essentially almost no longer teenagers, and so with that comes our own identity. You’re going to se the four of us realize that we’re pretty different than on another.”

Spoiler:

Amell teased that the vigilant-justice wannabe, Jones, will be introduced differently than how he was in previous films, where he was already wielding his hockey mask and stick weapons. “I’m doing a completely different job when you meet me than what I am doing by the end of the movie,” Amell said. “It’s very much an origin story for [Casey Jones].”

Spoiler:

We can expect to see a lot more light and a lot less shadows in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Partially due to budget restraints on the first film, when it came to animating the turtles’ faces, Liebesman decided to keep them in the shadows. But also because they’re shooting in more real locations the shots be less shadowy, and the Turtles will be less hidden.”There were no real artistic shots in the first movie,” Ploszek said. “But this time, it looks beautiful. We’ve already shot some action pieces in Buffalo that are mind-blowing. We got the guys from The Fast and the Furious [movies] to come in and do it. It looks like a summer blockbuster movie this time.”
