Casey Jones
 

I notice Megan Fox is 28 years old. So if TMNT will get a sequel, how will they find the right actor to play Casey Jones? Someone older than Megan.

Oh, I gander they'll get somebody who neither looks or acts like Casey Jones.

A: Chris Evans
B: ELIAS KONTAS!
C: Or a large built, 30-35 year old

Just my suggestions^

My dream cast would be CM Punk, he recently stated on a Nerdist podcast he would be all in if they wanted him.

Chris Evans would be good too.

I don't think the age has to be the same as April, since we don't actually know how old April is in the movie. But I'd assume she's supposed to be early 20's.

I don't necessarily think he has to be white either, I'm just having a hard time thinking of any youngish actors who could pull off being such a badass.

Casey's attitude and personality could totally work with him younger than April.

I've always thought Drew Roy from Falling Skies would make a decent modern Casey.

Shia LaBeouf

If they were to bring Casey Jones in the sequel, I can already see Mikey getting jealous.

He'll be like. "What's this guy doing with my Girl." As he sees the two talking to each other.

But I really hope, If they bring Casey Jones in the sequel, They gotta have the bander between him and Raph, That is very important because, Casey and Raph are BFFs.

Dunno
 

So she is a Cougar than? Doubt that's getting past the censors unless they aren't together. I can't even begin to fathom it.

I thought a cougar is when the woman is old enough to be the man's mother.

But hey, I would pick Transformer veterans, Josh Duhamel or Tyrese. They're decent enough actors and could probably pull off a badass types. Not to mention, they comes from the stable of Bay actors.

Only possible answer. :lol:

Never going to happen. Tables have turned, Megan Fox is now on good graces with Bay, and it's Shia Leboulf who is on the sh!t list with his antics. I can just imagine Spielberg now, probably shaking his head everytime he thinks of the boy.

Casey was never one of my favorite characters in TMNT, but if CM Punk would play him it will be hilarious

it will be the worst thing ever

What you talking about? I mean like upper 20s and lower 20s. Men don't have to be older than women. This isn't the 50s.

Michael Bay has heard your pleas.

Zac Efron it is! :P

Don't know this guy, but sh*t, the look would work perfectly..I gotta give you that one.:tgrin:

Funnything is hes actually really funny and a pretty good actor i could see it working. Hes fit as well, scruff him up a bit and i could totally see him as Casey

He'd have to buff up a little bit, but I could definitely see him being Casey Jones.

It sucks that Colin Cunningham (Pope from Falling Skies) is almost 50 years old. He would have been a perfect Casey Jones.

Hey, if he has a shirtless scene, I'm all for it. I think he could pull it off. Look, if he grows his hair long, gets a stubble, I think it can be pulled off.

Viggo Mortensen is a bit of a pretty boy in GI Jane, but pulled off a complete badass in LOTR.

Chris Evans is quite the pretty boy, but looked very different and gritty in The Snow Piercer.

Would you want Casey older than April or young?

Cause how would he fit in to the movie? Like following his IDW counterpart or something?

I could see Joseph Gordon Levitt pulling this off. He's already a guy in great shape. Bulk him up a bit more and I think he could do it.

Though seeing someone say CM Punk threw me through a loop. Great choice.

As a MASSIVE wrestling fan...the CM Punk conversation is an excellent one to have. I'd love it.

But, I believe to be a bit more realistic, a GREAT choice would be Taylor Kitsch. Dude got shafted out of being Gambit(even though he was probably the only redeeming thing about that god awful Wolverine movie...) in favor of Channing Tatum. I think he would make a great Casey Jones!

I want my Casey Jones to be mid 30's and rugged and probably borderline musty, like Elias Koteas in the '90's films. There were times in those movies where he looked waaay too comfy in the sewers lol

Borderline musty, dirty ass, same joggin pants wearing Casey :lol:

but seriously though, I dont want some skinny ass pretty boy playing him.. please get this casting right for the sequel

Forget Channing whose already married, I think Taylor is a perfect choice for Casey!

what does channing tatum being married have anything to do with anything?

Not Channing Tatum!
 

Not him he's already sold out to Hollywood.Why have someone like that to playCasey who such a great character?

I'm happy some of you aren't casting Casey Jones :p

Blame something else
 

Can you please have a valid opinion other thanthe times? Its been going on since before the 50s. So please tell me why you disagree on it rather than that? Its soumds like you are a oblivious baffon for saying that.

The sad thing is, that's an extremely likely candidate. And he's butt ugly.

I think a clean-shaven Chris Hemsworth might be nice. He's much better looking than boring-man Chris Evans. But I'm not sure either of them would be just right. Unfortunately, I don't really know very many modern actors, especially ones that would look the part for Casey.

Though I still insist that The Rock would be an awesome Casey.

The thread-starter kicked off this conversation with an assumption that Casey should be older than April. I don't see why. Casey being younger makes sense to me. But you say that if April is older than Casey, she's a "cougar," and you find the concept unfathomable. Now, you're asking for a valid reason why Casey doesn't need to be older than April? :teek:

Who's oblivious, here? I could explain myself, but, I mean... No. I won't. I sincerely don't think that I should have to. :ohwell:

I want the guy that played Casey in the fan film.

???
 

Dude. Congratulations. You just took what I said about what I said and took it out of context to confuse yourself. Well done.

This conversation makes zero sense, but I am so not accepting the blame for it.

The Rock is way too old and too big to be Casey. Casey should be an average sized guy about the same age as April.

Oh yeah, I'm well aware of that. But it'd just have an amusing kinda charm to it, you know?

Right
 

Right. I forgot that your the intelligent one and I'm the dumb one. My bad. :roll:

I say Mark Wahlberg.. he's built and to top it off... he's got that northern accent so he'd kinda sound like the 4Kids Casey. Plus he'd fit in with the comic relief.

I can't see Chris Hemsworth coming into this thing, but what about his brother?

But either way, my main thing with the CJ actor, he's got to be able to pull of a good NYC accent.

My first choice right now though would be Efron, just to see if he could pull it off. .

But more than likely, they are going to be pulling actors from Michael Bay's stable.

Some notables that I do like.
Anthony Mackie. Be nice to see him pull off a rough edged character.

Ramon Rodriguez. The guy has potential, in a TMNT movie.

Tyrese- he's pretty much playing the same character in Tranformers.

Josh Duhamel- similar to Tyrese, just a bit more soft spoken.

Alan Ritchson- have him play duel roles, it's not like it's not happened before in the movies:P

And some who are not part of the Michael Bay stable yet.

Diego Boneta, Christopher Meloni, Jason Wiles, Tom Hardy (I know, never going to happen)

I'd probably try to avoid comments slamming the intelligence of others if you can't use correct grammar or punctuation (hint: it's "you're").

You might be better served trying to show some of the longer-term members a bit of respect, instead of coming in and throwing around a bad attitude towards everybody over things which are really not that important. Not really a good way to win friends and influence people.

You're probably a nice guy, so why not take it down a notch.
