Casting Shredder’s Voice Actor For TMNT Mutant Mayhem 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is getting a sequel, and the inclusion of Shredder has already got fans wondering who will be cast as the turtles’ arch-nemesis. Many actors have voiced The Shredder over the years, from the late great James Avery in the classic ’80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon to Scott Rayow (aka Scottie Ray) in a later version in 2003, and Kevin Michael Richardson in the longest-running iteration of it recently from 2012-2017. Who voices Shredder may depend on his origin story, and considering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Modern Mayhem’s character changes, this could affect the casting decision.Of all the characters who didn’t have significant roles in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Mutant Mayhem, Shredder’s has been the most highly anticipated to expand. Though he only received a few seconds of screen time at the end of the movie, it was enough to generate hype surrounding the major franchise villain, so Seth Rogen and Co. may select a well-known actor to fill the role. And, since Shredder’s origin story often depicts him as a Japanese ninja warrior, it might be high time that the Master of the Foot Clan actually is voiced by a Japanese actor.
