What do we know about the new TMNT short film?
Taking place in the same universe as 2023’s Mutant Mayhem, Chrome Alone 2 will see the brothers traveling to New Jersey for the first time. Along the way, they’ll go up against a “mysterious toy company exploits the turtles’ newfound fame,” and stumble upon a “shocking discovery” along the way.
Chrome Alone 2, the name of which is a playful twist on the classic Home Alone 2, is directed by Kent Seki, who told Variety that his hopes for the movie was to honor the history of the Ninja Turtles’ while retaining their iconic energy.
“We wanted to honor the Ninja Turtles’ history while asking what would happen if we put them somewhere completely unfamiliar,” Seki said. “New Jersey became the perfect backdrop because it’s so close to New York, yet has its own energy and quirks that challenge the turtles in new ways.”
It’s unclear exactly where the short film takes place in the timeline of the world that Mutant Mayhem has created. A sequel to Mutant Mayhem has already been greenlit, and will release on September 17, 2027, with Shredder said to be the main antagonist of the movie.
