TMNT: Mutants In Manhattan - 10 Things Fans Are Going To Love
6. Those Fantastic Voice Actors Might Be Back
Platinum Games
Though we're yet to see an actual confirmation of MIM's voice cast, they all sound remarkably similar to the Nickelodeon show's. That would seem to indicate that Rob Paulsen, Greg Cipes, Sean Astin and (hopefully) Seth Green will be reprising their roles as Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo respectively, which can only be good news for fans who have become particularly attached to their portrayals of the four brothers over the past few years.
The game can of course rock with a completely different voice cast, but going off what we've heard so far, Platinum would appear to be reaching into the most fondly remembered bits of Turtles history. Granted the Nickelodeon guys are relatively new to this history (bar Paulsen, who voiced Raphael in the '80s show), but they've already demonstrated their talent for making the heroes in a half shell even more believable.
Either way, I greatly anticipate the witty repartee MIM will undoubtedly deliver in spades - Nickelodeon cast or not.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
