I hope it's an April Fools joke on his part.

If it is, then he put some work into it because he has been hinting for a few weeks that he was in the running for a big new role and he was rewatching all the Marvel films for inspiration. This has to be what he was talking about.

As with most franchise films a good chunk of that came from overseas where they'll go see just about anything. Remember that Tim Burton's movie about Alice in Wonderland made over a billion dollars that way.

Almost 200 million came domestically, even still. Ninja Turtles is still very popular with kids and I'm sure millennials on a nostalgia binge got hooked in too.

An alright dude.
Good for him he's probably getting paid more to do the movie than he does all of a entire season of Arrow, so good for him.

He's a good actor. Also he's in Hung which is hilarious and you should watch it.

gently caress, now I hope that shitpile does well at the box office. God damnit, Amell.

No you gotta hope it crashes and burns but people say "Casey Jones was pretty good but nothing could save this movie"

Edit: or, you know, that it's a legit good movie but I'm trying to keep things realistic here.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
New director (Not Bay), not sure who's writing it, big projects pass through a lot of hands. IDGAF about the Turtles but I'm glad Amell is making a lot of $.

I'm always amazed by how much money comes from outside the US. It's why every big movie has a scene in China now.

Hey, maybe the next Ninja turtles could have a chinese Ninja Turtle. To mix things up a little they could make her a girl.

So, considering that the trailer for the rest of the season for The Flash just aired with Oliver in full LoA gear teaming up with Flash and Firestorm, what's the policy on discussing that now? Just curious.

I might be one of the few here who enjoyed the new TMNT movie, but I'm definitely looking forward to Amell playing Casey Jones. I mean, he's Canadian, so he'll look very natural with the hockey stick and mask.

Kind of funny: I thought I was reading through the "Who Greenlighted this poo poo" thread for a while.

Nah, it'd be funny if Amell knowingly joked about being Casey Jones in the inevitably lovely sequel to the TMNT reboot and had his agent tell Variety about it for April fools. Amell tweeted about it though, so ehh. Glad he's getting a paycheck, but all signs point to the movie being completely mediocre and forgettable like the first.

He could also be gearing up for a new gig for when they cancel Arrow and Flash so audiences don't get confused with the movie version characters.

Yo know, since that's why Suicide Squad isn't on TV anymore.
