Stephen Amell Cast as Casey Jones
 
Stephen Amell has been tapped to play Casey Jones in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2″ for Paramount and Platinum Dunes.

Megan Fox is set to return as April O’Neil. Will Arnett is also returning. David Green is directing the pic. Plot details and information on other returning cast members are still unknown.

A loner who becomes an ally of the turtles and a love interest for O’Neil, Jones is a fan favorite of the series going back to when Elias Koteas played in him the 1990 New Line pic.

Michael Bay is producing along with his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec are penning the script.

Amell tested with a half dozen actors over the weekend, but it was his eventual chemistry with Fox that led to the studio giving the role to the star of CW’s “Arrow.” Paramount had no comment on the casting.

The Turtles franchise is one of Paramount’s top properties following its success last summer, where it earned $191,204,754 domestically — so much so that Paramount dated the sequel for 2016 before even locking down a director or cast.

Huh. Cast a vigilante with a guy who already plays a vigilante. That actually works.

IndigoErth 03-31-2015 05:36 PM
No clue who he is, but looking at pics.... alright, I could dig that.

The guy who plays Green Arrow on Arrow? Is this a type casting thing?

The Fifth Turtle 03-31-2015 05:37 PM
Not familiar with his past work but.....based off a quick google image search I can see him playing Casey.

Holy ****! GOOD NEWS!!! :tsurpris:

I mean, it's not who I would've cast; not at all. But he's a pretty good actor and I'm an Arrow fan. And it's not Vern!!!! :tparty::thyper:

agreed whoever cast him did good for a change. Someone who can Act

Well, that's.....unexpected. Just to bad he had to be casted for THIS particular movie.

So should I expect him to say "You have failed this city" sometime in the film?

:tlol:

Now we just need the guy who plays Diggle for Baxter Stockman and Emily Bett Rickards to play Renet! Although honestly, I feel like the guy who plays Roy would make for a better Casey Jones. He's got a better unhinged street-level quality...

And now that I think of it, Katie Cassidy would play a pretty good April...

Not watched any of that; nor anything else in his filmography on IMDB. But if he can act (and already used to a vigilante role, say you guys?) then this is suitable eye candy enough. (Since, you know, male viewers get both Fox and a Victoria's Secret model now. lol :trazz:) I'll try not to find any complaints (unless the human actors once again take too much away from the Turtles).

DonnyMac 03-31-2015 05:45 PM
hmmmm..... I love Arrow. Not sure I can see him as Casey, but I think I can get behind this

plastroncafe 03-31-2015 05:45 PM
He's got nice abs, which is pretty much all I know about him at the moment.

Just for the heck of it, lets cast Grant Gustin as Casey's cousin, Sid. :tlol:

That's some a hardcore **** right there.

TigerClaw 03-31-2015 05:54 PM
I never seen Arrow, But looking at him, He seems like a good fit.

IndigoErth 03-31-2015 05:59 PM
I'm glad this info came out today and not tomorrow, leaving people an entire day (or more) of wondering if it's was true or not.

*runs to look*

:D
Spoiler:
To make up for the Fox ass shot of the first film, with all the scream-grunting (scrunting?) or whatever annoying noise that was she was making while hanging out the window of the truck... I request a scene that goes something like:

Oh no, Vern hurt himself. Casey, could you possibly take off your shirt so we can use it to make a tourniquet? (Although I know they'd change it and use the model...)

He's awesome in Arrow, good choice but he'll have to grow his hair out which would be fine in Arrow as well actually.
