Ah! I replied to someone with this suggestion before seeing your post.

I rock! Maybe I should be a casting director 💪

Careful what you say to me. I will argue with you forever. I enjoy trying to prolong arguments :D

Just a thought, but is there any point in even having Casey Jones in these movies?

What I mean by that, is Casey fights side by side with the Turtles (and has his famous run in with Raphael).

Whoever they get, even The Rock, is going to look silly standing next to these Hulk like Turtles with sports equipment as weapons. He'd look like their tiny little sidekick.

Good call d_myerss.

I wouldn't mind if they made the turtles a bit smaller in the next movie even if it screws with the continuity of the two movies(They did in the original trilogy (the infamous freckles)).

I will be interested to see if Casey is able to hold his own against Raph, or if they abandon the scene all together.

I don't understand why so many people have such a boner for Casey Jones. To me he is the most uninteresting character of all time. I like TMNT because it has mutants, monsters, aliens and robots. Casey Jones is just a dude with a hockey mask and a bat and his character is totally boring.

He is one of the few main characters, and because he's human people automatically have a connection to him just like April.

A couple of years ago they were talking about doing a all robot Transformers movie, but no one would touch it with a 10' pole because it wasn't going to have the human element. Movie viewers relate, and have an emotional connection to humans over monsters, aliens, robots, etc...

In my opinion this is why everyone has "such a boner for Casey Jones".

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure every guy under the age of 35 or so has imagined himself as Casey one time or another!

taylor kitsch would be my first choice. Looks cool with long hair has that old school bad ass about him not many male actors of this generation have. I like the choice of arrow dude though, wish i gave a *beep* about a sequel. I just didn't care for this one.

Charlie Cox! I think he would be great I was watching Daredevil and something about him just reminds me of Casey Jones.

Sh!t now you got me thinking too, but all I came up with (that hasn't already been mentioned) is Norman Reedus?

Ben Affleck

Charlie Bright "Somewhere".

So he gets to be Daredevil, Batman, AND Casey Jones? Maybe lets leave him out of at least one super hero mythos. 

Fair point. Daniel Radcliffe then

Charlie Bright "Somewhere".
