Screen Rant had a chance to sit down with director Jonathan Liebesman and producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, with the discussion turning to the chances of seeing Dimension X and other interplanetary elements brought to the sequel. Their answers suggest enthusiasm to do exactly that, but also to use the previously-written scripts (which the fans hated, just a reminder) as the template....
Jonathan Liebesman: I would love to. I mean it’s not up to me. It’s up to all of us to decide.
Brad Fuller: But we’ve talked about those worlds already
Andrew Form: There are scripts that have been written for this movie that integrated those worlds into it already…
Jonathan Liebesman: They were just too…it made the movie a bit too unfocused for this particular story.
Krang is my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character not named Raphael, even though he mainly appeared in the 1980s cartoon series as an ally of Shredder. He was the tyrannical leader of an army or rock soldiers, but was banished to Earth and stripped of his body. Now he resembles a talking brain and uses a powerful robotic exo-skeleton when he needs to get around or fight battles. The alien race Krang is a part of, the Utroms, were introduced in the original Eastman & Laird comic so it's not as if TMNT doesn't already have aspects that reach far off-world. And if Krang is going to appear might I suggest James Franco to voice him? Just throwing that out there. He DID play 'Alien' in Spring Breakers, after all.
Bear in mind that Liebesman hasn't been confirmed to return for the sequel, but screenwriters Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec are returning along with Michael Bay as producer.
