I'll guess I'll have to watch the first one.

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 him in the 1990 New Line pic.

I bet he'll have some on screen chemistry working with Rapael...

In case you don't get it...

It's fricking brilliant. People are already interested in watching the first one because of this. TMNT is lucky to have him.

Casey was my least favorite character. Seemed out of place all the time.

I don't think he can pull it off. I love Arrow but Oliver Queen is....lame. I hate the way he always whisper talks. I thought it was just an odd acting choice but he talks the same way in interviews.

My name...is Casey Jones. For 5 years I've been stranded in the sewer with only one goal, survive (because living in the sewer with 4 freaking turtles and a rat is freaking nuts). Now I will fulfill Splinter's squeaking wish (because he's a rat and all) and use hockey sticks & baseball bats to bring down those that are poisoning my city. To do this I must become someone else, I must become something else (hopefully not a freaking warthog or rhino or some messed up mutant).

I think we're overrating the drawing power of a guy who's TV show pulls in 3 million viewers a week. TMNT sells itself. It'll take a bigger name to have a drastic effect on the box office. FWIW, I am an Arrow fan.

3 million viewers multiplied by $10 movie tickets and you're looking at an extra $30 million at the box office right there.
