Stephen Amell Talks Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
While Comic-Con was huge for Arrow, including Stephen Amell kicking off the Arrow panel by cutting a wrestling promo in his new Green Arrow costume, there’s more than one role he is playing. Mainly, being Casey Jones in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Amell chatted with IGN and told them that this Casey Jones isn’t what fans may remember him as.
“It’s certainly not your father’s or your younger self’s Casey Jones, but that’s because we meet him at a very different time in his development,” Amell said. He continued:
“He is not the Casey Jones that a lot of comic fans have come to know and love. He is a guy with a job that lives in New York and loves hockey. When things go awry, [and] when he goes through the normal methods of what someone would do when they’re [a] law-abiding citizen and he’s met with laughter and scorn… he decides to take things into his own hands.”
In addtion, he’s more than willing to incorporate his new moves in Arrow. Amell added, “By the way, if Oliver needs to do any new fighting this year, I would suggest a baseball bat or a hockey stick, because I am now proficient!”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is due out on June 3, 2016. Arrow returns to The CW on October 7.
