With nothing left to lose, Max (Tom Hardy) must decide what is worth fighting for. The reboot debuts in theaters on May 15th. [YouTube]

Arrow star Stephen Amell will soon be a crime-fighting vigilante on the big screen, too. The actor, who is best known for kicking butt as the Green Arrow on The CW, has been cast as Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Megan Fox and Will Arnett are returning for the sequel, which will be directed by David Green. Reportedly, it was Amell’s chemistry with Fox that won him the part. The film is scheduled to release in theaters on June 3, 2016. [Variety]
