LH was 7, I'm assuming Usagi is #1 then.

Usagi's a waste of a character on that list. We haven't seen him in IDW or Nick after 5 and 4 years, respectively.

I can only assume that Stan Sakai would just as soon eat a plate of sh*t than let his life's work be represented on the silver screen by Platinum Dunes.

Also, Paramount is in bed with China. They'd never want to bother with a character as Japanese as Usagi.

Among those, I could easily see Leatherhead happening, imo preferably as a sewer gator who is an enemy to both Turtles and other NYC citizens. That might set up an interesting situation of giving the Turtles reason to reach out to their new allies in the police department for assistance. (And/or visa versa.) Like JAWS of the sewer, but with mutated high intelligence. Don't even reveal for a while that he can speak.

Beyond that, Metalhead, but a creation of Donnie's like in Nick.

As nice as it is to see Usagi hang out with the Turtles, and in particular I love that he's a good buddy of my fave, I'm a little afraid of how a "realistic" movie version might turn out. lol

Friendly reminder that Usagi is the greatest character in all of TMNT. And he ain't even from TMNT...

I prefer this:



Actually, I'd go out of my way to promote this, I'd even buy stocks.
Nic Cage plays everyone in TMNT3; everyone, including Megan Fox.

I'd want to see the Turtles and Casey hunting down Bebop and Rocksteady in the first act of the film when the Turtles come across the Purple Dragons and Hun played by Dwayne Johnson. The Purple Dragons team with Bebop and Rocksteady decide to take over new york now that Shredder is out of the picture. The PD and B&R could be as the setup Villains of the movie as it builds up to a full on invasion from Dimension X.

For the final act have the Turtles learn from Bebop and Rocksteady that Shredder and Krang are returning to earth soon. The Turtles then hunt down Baxter and use his tech to build a Portal to take the fight to them and head to Dimension X. When the heroes arrive they see that Krang has a Robot Foot Ninja and Rock Soldier army ready for an invasion.

Now for the finally I'd have the final showdown be with a Mutated Super Shredder in the Technodrome portal room who is set to lead his army. The Turtles of course need to stop the army from getting thru and get past Shredder as Donnie has set the drome to explode.

I don't know what I would do if Platinum Dunes got to use Usagi before Ciro or IDW. Luckily I don't have to worry about that.

Okay, just throwing it out there (stealth mode PD/movie people take note please)...

3rd film: Krang and Shredder of course have to make a comeback, there's no way those two would just give up. And, sorry to be harsh, but ignoring that would be pretty stupid.

And you know, what the heck, try an original character/character type (yeah I know, Eric Sacks wasn't entirely well received, but trying to merge an original character with an existing one was a mistake) -- remember these guys? While I really disliked them as concepts for our Turtles, I still think they'd make really good baddies from another dimension. Earth Turtles vs evil alien turtle-like beings? Yes please.

Make sure to give Shredder and Krang something to do though too, probably pulling the strings the whole time with these alien turtles they brought along with them.

And that's probably exactly why the third movie will probably be about something else completely different. bringing back Shredder and Krang would just make too much sense.

7. OK, just not in the way they seem to want him.
6. Nope, never. How does he even rank higher than number 7?
5. OK
4. Give him a minor role at most, I don't see how he could carry any plot.
3. Really? That's even worse than number 6!
2. Fine but I'm not seeing him being important, much like number 4.
1. That would be great... It's never going to happen though since it would actually be a crime, literally.

Their version of Usagi would be an alien. We all know that.

I'm shocked we haven't seen Metalhead, given how "Transformer friendly" the character is.

I wonder if it would be out of the question for the 3rd film to go back to basics with the Turtles and do real suits with CGI affected faces like in Deadpool. It would be like blending the past with a modern touch but of course they'd have to redesign the overall look of the turtles as the actors are not huge hulking men.
