After the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, it's clear that Paramount intends to expand this franchise into new territories, and that includes an adults-only film. That's right, this will be the first time since its conception that the Ninja Turtles will have an adventure that is not suitable for minors, since a live action adaptation of The Last Ronin.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount has greenlit an adaptation of The Last Roninwhich will be a live action movie with an R rating. Tyler Burton Smith, who co-wrote Boy Kills World and Chucky Child's Playis writing the script, while Walter Hamada, through his company 18hz, will produce.
For those who have not read The Last Roninthis is a comic from IDW comics, which presents us with a dystopian future where Shredder's grandson managed to kill Splinter, as well as three of the four Turtles, leaving a member of this family on a mission of revenge. One of the most integral points of the original work is that it was not clear which hero had survived. While this mystery eventually had an answer, it is very likely that the adaptation will still keep this element present.
The success of The Last Ronin was so big, that this same year the first volume of TMNT: The Last Ronin II – Re-Evolutiona sequel that has become one of the most successful comics of 2024. Thus, expectations for the film are quite high, especially by fans of the IDW comics.
Although at the moment there are no actors and a director related to this adaptation, Walter Hamada is recognized for his work as former president of DC Filmsas well as for coping with the series The Conjuring and the new movies Item. Now, considering the great potential of The Last Roninmany hope that this adaptation will manage to honor the original work, even if some do not agree with a live action adaptation.
Next to The Last Ronin, We know that Paramount is also working on an animated series of Mutant Mayhemas well as a sequel to this film. On related topics, here you can learn more about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2. Likewise, a new Ninja Turtles game is on the way.
Editor's Note:
This has a lot of potential, but it is a complicated path. The last live action film was produced by Michael Bay, and although the final result was not that bad, the commercial reception was terrible. It's all about honoring the source material, but without forgetting the advantages of the films.
