There is, indeed! On March 6, the first teaser trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was released. It doesn't reveal too much about the plot, but it does a great job of introducing us to the titular heroes and some of the supporting characters. One of the producers of this new film, Seth Rogen, wanted to emphasize the "teenage" aspect of the titular turtles.
Fortunately, it appears that was the correct decision, as the trailer beautifully showcases their strong brotherly bond and upbeat energy. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo appear to have a lot of fun together, whether they're just hanging out or trying to be heroes. Aside from the turtles, we see Master Splinter and a few other villains from the TMNT rogues' gallery, including Bebop and Rocksteady. We also meet reporter April O'Neil, who will most likely play an important role in helping the turtles become famous and save the city.
The trailer also emphasizes the stellar animation style of the flick, sharing sketch-like qualities similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It feels so close to a comic book coming to life and suits this world well based on what we’ve seen so far.
The first full trailer mainly focuses on "Mutant Disorder" as we not only see more turtles and Splinter but also see how the rest of the mutants in New York play a role in the film.
