After the 2014 film exceeded box office expectations, Paramount and Nickelodeon officially announced a sequel was greenlit, and due to be released in theatres on June 3, 2016,[19] with plans to incorporate the characters of Casey Jones, Bebop and Rocksteady.[20] Jonathan Liebesman and Brad Fuller were also interested in doing a storyline that involved Dimension X and Krang.[21] In December 2014, it was revealed Paramount was in early negotiations with Earth to Echo director Dave Green to helm the sequel, also revealing Jonathan Liebesman was no longer a part of the project.[22] Known briefly as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Half Shell,[23] Paramount revealed in December 2015 that the title had officially been changed to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.[5][6]
