The heroes in a half-shell are back. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, fresh off an animated renaissance in 2023's Mutant Mayhem, are returning to live-action – with some serious producing talent emerging from the shadows.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, veteran producer Neal H. Moritz (best known for his work on the Fast and Furious franchise) and Sonic the Hedgehog producer Toby Ascher are reportedly "restarting" TMNT as a live-action franchise.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
