Alan Ritchson is having a monumental year. With War Machine already breaking Netflix records and Reacher Season 4 now streaming on Prime Video, the actor's star power is undeniable. But while fans are flocking to his latest projects, many are also rediscovering one of his earliest big-screen roles—a 2014 sci-fi action flick that's now climbing the streaming charts again.
That film is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where Ritchson voiced the hot-headed Raphael. Released in 2014, the movie grossed nearly $500 million worldwide, making it a massive hit at the time. Its 2016 sequel, however, earned only half as much, but the original remains a fan favorite. Now, with Reacher Season 4 dominating headlines, the turtle-powered blockbuster is finding a new audience on streaming platforms.
In the United States, viewers can catch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Paramount+, where it's available to all subscribers. For those looking for a free option, Pluto TV also offers the film. This resurgence is a testament to Ritchson's growing fanbase, who are eager to explore his earlier work.
Ritchson's current success is hard to ignore. War Machine pulled in nearly 140 million unique views on Netflix, landing a spot in the streamer's all-time top 10. A sequel, War Machines, is already in development. Meanwhile, Reacher Season 4 premiered today, and the show has already been renewed for a fifth season, based on Lee Child's novel Make Me. The upcoming spin-off, Neagley, is set to arrive on Prime Video in September.
For those new to Ritchson's filmography, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles offers a glimpse of his versatility before he became an action superstar. The film blends sci-fi, martial arts, and humor, and Ritchson's performance as Raphael is a standout. It's no wonder the movie is resonating with audiences again.
