'Arrow' Star Joins 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2' As Casey Jones
by Andy Neuenschwander
You've seen Stephen Amell kicking ass with a bow and Arrow...but what about a hockey stick?
The "Arrow" star has officially joined the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie sequel, continuing the live-action series produced by Michael Bay.
Amell will be playing the role of Casey Jones, a classic TMNT character who cleans up the streets using various pieces of sporting equipment. He's also usually a love interest for April O'Neil, who will again be played by Megan Fox.
Amell made the announcement himself on his Facebook page: "Arrow tonight. Turtles in 2016. Never too early," he wrote, accompanied by a cute fan drawing of Michelangelo of the Turtles meeting Arrow and commenting on his excellent choice of costume color.
Will Arnett will also return for the sequel, which will be helmed by "Earth to Echo" director David Green.
