While he may be best known on t.v. as the Green Arrow, Stephen Amell’s jump to the big screen sees him step into the shoes of another four colour vigilante, Casey Jones, for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. A new clip has come our way, giving us our first formal introduction to this new version of the hockey stick wielding hero, a fan favourite amongst TMNT fans of almost every generation (myself included, though Elias Kotaes form the original live action movie will forever my Jones), and Amell seems to have settled into the role nicely. Check it out below.
Released: May 30th (IRL/U.K.)/ June 3rd (U.S.)
Synopsis: Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael return to theaters this summer to battle bigger, badder villains, alongside April O’Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and a newcomer: the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell). After supervillain Shredder escapes custody, he joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (WWE Superstar Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly), to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater evil with similar intentions: the notorious Krang.
