"Arrow" star Stephen Amell's character in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" Casey Jones will play a pivotal role in the movie, not to mention develop a special relationship with the Turtles, particularly Raphael.

Amell said during an interview with Screen Rant that the movie will give audiences the chance to know Casey's backstory.

"Just from looking at my appearance - as opposed to what comic book fans have come to expect from Casey Jones - we are meeting Casey in this movie at a very different point. The Casey that we met in the previous live-action films was a finished product," he said. "I'm doing a completely different job (at this point in the story) than I am by the end of the movie. So, I like it because it's very much an origin story for my character. It's certainly not the centerpiece of the movie. But for me personally, I like finding a character in a phase of discovery."

Screenwriter Andre Nemec even shared that Casey will be introduced in the movie "through all kinds of wonderful scenes and great action and adventure."

"He represents something that is a part of the Turtles, in terms of the vigilante status of their life," Nemec said. "In terms of a character also trying to find his path and his way. We had, in early drafts of the first movie, explored the Casey Jones character and then we let him go from the idea of the first movie. We always had it in our craw to have the Casey Jones character be part of the Turtles franchise, and this movie is the right way to introduce him into their world."

Producer Andrew Form added that they have always wanted to work on Casey in the franchise, so it has been amazing for them to bring his character in and see his relationship with the Turtles grow and develop.

"And he's the fresh eyes now coming in because he does meet the turtles. And it's always fun when someone can meet these four characters, as if you saw them for the first time," he shared. "He's the audience at first. And it's really fun and you know he gets to hangout with the Turtles and we all know that Casey, at least in canon wants to be a vigilante. And I think the turtles help him you know find that, they really do. Him and Raph have their issues but by the end of the movie I think everyone gets along real well."

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" will be released on June 3, 2016.
