ARROW's Stephen Amell Cast As 'Casey Jones' In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2

We'd heard that the fan-favourite vigilante from TMNT canon would likely be showing up in the sequel to last year's underwhelming but lucrative reboot, and now we hear he'll be played by none other that Oliver Queen himself, Stephen Amell! More past the jump...

Goongala! Unstable hockey mask-wearing vigilante Casey Jones will be played by Arrow star Stephen Amell, who'll be swapping his bow for some lethal sporting equipment in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel (working title "Half-Shell") according to Variety. Apparently Amell tested with 6 other actors over the weekend but it was chemistry with the returning Megan Fox that ultimately landed him the role. Jones is an ally of the Turtles and also an on-again-off-again love interest for April O'Neil, which seems to be the they'll be going here. David Green will direct this time, with Michael Bay once again on board as producer. The movie hits theaters June 3, 2016.

Unexpected but really glad!
He deserves more recognition and this could be it.

Plus he's one sexy man. Him and Megan Fox sharing the same screen?

Gives me a reason to watch it now. Good for Amell. I hope this leads to big things for him on the big screen!

I surprisingly enjoyed the first Turtles movie.
It was heavily Bayfied, but it was some popcorn fun and I thought Megan Fox did a good job.

Dope.

Hope this was focuses more on the Turtles.

It won't though.

Damn, Megan Fox and Stephen Amell on screen together? That would be like two blocks of wood talking to one another.

Sarcasm aside, I wonder if this is the reason for the spinoff show.

If true..not a good fit.
Stephen is ok dude but Casey Jones should be played by someone more rugged,less pretty boy.

Brian Austin Green better be his wife's personal assistant on the set, unless he wants Fox to be struck by a green arrow in her trailer!
