Who needs a shell when you've got a mask?!

Stephen Amell looks ready to play his part as the mysterious vigilante Arnold Bernid "Casey" Jones in a new teaser photo of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 released by producer Michael Bay.

The 33-year-old Arrow star sports a grittier look and appears ready to protect the world as an ally of the turtles, wearing Jones' trademark goalie mask while holding a hockey stick.

His movie representation is not too far off from the fictional character, as Jones is a fan-favorite widely recognized for having longer hair and carrying his weapons around in a golf bag over the shoulder. 

Amell's on-screen love interest April O'Neil, played by the stunning Megan Fox, has also recently been spotted going incognito rocking a shoulder-length curly blond ‘do as well as some thick black frames on the set of the action-adventure film.

Among the star-studded talent hitting the big screen alongside the turtle squad will be Victoria Secret's Alessandra Ambrosio and Los Angeles Clippers team guard J.J. Reddick.

"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 Arrow]," Amell said about his TMNT portrayal at a Vancouver Expo Q&A. "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."
