We have our first official sneak peek at Casey Jones from the NYC set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, masked with hockey stick in hand. Michael Bay took the honors in revealing the image on his website and on Twitter.
Played by Arrow star Stephen Amell, Casey’s addition to the rebooted Turtles cast in the sequel currently shooting promises to amp up the human element in hand-to-hand combat. Amell kicks major ass on Arrow on a weekly basis, so there is little doubt Casey will prove to be an impressive take no prisoners vigilante and ally to the Turtles.

Megan Fox returns as April O’Neil along with Will Arnett (Vernon Fenwick) and Willian Fichtner (Eric Sacks). Amell joins fellow newcomers to the cast Tyler Perry (Baxter Stockman), Brian Tee (Shredder) and Laura Linney. Though they remain uncast, it was recently confirmed that Fan favorite TMNT villains Bebop and Rocksteady will also make their big screen debuts in the film.
Much like he did with the various vehicles in Transformers: Age of Extinction, earlier this month Bay revealed the new Turtle van and a three-wheeled Polaris Slingshot motorcycle which are set to appear on-screen.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, dircted by David Green, is set for June 3, 2016.
