It was reported a few days back that “Arrow” star Stephen Amell would be playing Casey Jones in the sequel to Paramount’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.
Amell was at the Vancouver Fan Expo this weekend, and spoke a little about the similarity between Arrow and Jones.
“Obviously the similarities are right there on the surface, but if the audition process and the script is any indication [Casey Jones] is going to be fundamentally different [from The Arrow]. As a matter of fact, it’s almost like the character of Casey Jones in this iteration of Ninja Turtles is almost a little bit more like the Oliver Queen that people know from the older comic books.”
Asked about the upcoming “Arrow”/”Flash” spin-off, Amell said you can expect to see Arrow on it from time to time. More interesting though, you can expect to see one of his regular co-stars on it quite often.
“I would imagine that I would be appearing on all three shows. I would imagine that we will be sprinkling characters in… I know that there is a plan for one character, who originated on Arrow and is not one of the main characters on the new spin-off, to hover between all three shows – and that will be their job, so to speak. You’ll see a lot of interconnectivity next year.”
With one-time “Arrow” star Caity Lotz said to be involved in the new show, might ‘Black Canary’ (albeit a resurrected form, since the character apparently bit the dust last year) be the crossover character?
