Ninja Turtles 2 Sequel, Half Shell, could break 500 Million Mark

After the success of the TMNT 2014 movie, the entire crew for the upcoming sequel have their hands full. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 (AKA Half Shell) has officially gone into production. Fans have a lot to be excited about: this time around will feature a new director and added characters.
The added characters will add more appeal to the successful franchise, thus for more money. Now movie goers will be entertained by new characters such as Casey Jones, along with Bebop & Rocksteady. These are only the confirmed characters for now, more is sure to come. Maybe Krang makes it to a life-action film?
The man at helm is director Dave Green (Earth to Echo) and he seems extremely ready for the gigantic project. Even Stephen Amell (Casey Jones) confirmed he was moved by director Dave Green’s passion for this film. Lots of fans complained the TMNT 2014 film lacked personal moments with the turtles. The Ninja Turtles are hilarious, so hopefully the new director can install [almost] everything the fans want.
