Some cool casting news came out today, as Variety has learned that Stephen Amell has joined the cast of the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” sequel as Casey Jones, one of the franchise’s most popular characters.
Variety reports that Stephen Amell tested with a half-dozen actors this past weekend, and said it was his chemistry with Megan Fox, who plays April O’Neil in the movie, that made him get cast in the role.
Similar to Oliver in “Arrow,” Casey Jones is a vigilante in New York who wants to help clean up the city of crime, and eventually meets up and becomes a friend of the Turtles.
As a big fan of the whole “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise, I personally think Stephen Amell is going to be great in the role of Casey Jones, and can’t wait to see his portrayal of the character when the second “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie hits theaters in the summer of 2016!
