Stephen Amell Talks TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2; Says The Film Will Reveal Casey Jones' Origin
We’ve already gotten a few set photos, and an official still giving us our first look at Stephen Amell suited up as the Vigilante Casey Jones. Now, in a recent panel discussion, Amell gave us our first details regarding his character in TMNT 2! Hit the jump to check it out!
In a recent Q&A panel at the Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con, Stephen Amell talked about his role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 and revealed that it doesn’t showcase an experienced Casey Jones, instead it focuses on his origin story. “Gone is the bow and arrow. Incoming is the hockey stick. Without getting too spoilery or even a little spoilery, I will say that you can consider this movie, the movie in and of itself is not this, but for my character, it’s a little bit of an origin story.”
So, will we still see him bashing thugs in the heads with his hockey stick? Even though, he’s not a master vigilante yet, and doesn’t have a steady fighting style, Amell promises that Casey will still use his primary weapon to beat guys up! “So when we meet Casey Jones, he is not necessarily the butt-kicking, vigilante shadow-of-the-night that he may eventually become. As a result, the fighting style for me is much different. It’s much more take many more risks. It’s much less calculated. It’s just beating guys up with a hockey stick.”
With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 set to release in theaters on June 3, 2016, we should expect the first trailer toward the end of the year! Before you head out, here’s three questions you can answer below in the comment section!
