A new image has been released from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the latest cinematic take on the popular franchise from director Jonathan Liebesman and producer Michael Bay.
The new look of the turtles hasn’t gone over so well, so it may be up to other familiar characters to win people over. This newest image features a showdown between the villain Shredder (William Fichtner), and the turtles’ mentor and father figure Splinter (Danny Woodburn). You can only see the back of Splinter in the image, but you get the best look at the new Shredder we’ve had yet.

The first full trailer for this summer’s Michael Bay-produced and Jonathan Liebesman-directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot has premiered online a few days following its unveiling at this year’s CinemaCon. You can watch it here below.
The clip is framed by narration from William Fichtner‘s lily-white Shredder, explaining to April O’Neill (Megan Fox) how the city has fallen into ruin and chaos and how he and her father tried to stem the rising tide of violence by creating their own heroes. Yes friends, Shredder had a hand in creating the Ninja Turtles.
Another important character has been cast for Ninja Turtles, the new take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being made by producer Michael Bay‘s Platinum Dunes.
First came April O’Neil, the reporter who befriends the turtles, who will be played by Megan Fox. Next came the casting of Raphael and then Donatello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo.
Now comes word that actor Danny Woodburn has been cast in the movie, where he will play the group’s mentor and father figure, Master Splinter.
