Joe Manganiello reveals that he almost played Casey Jones in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started as a comic book, which spawned an animated series and a live-action film in 1990.

Manganiello responded to Eisner's Tweet about the project, offering insight on how he nearly got to play the character.
According to Manganiello, he expressed interest in playing the character before Eisner's pitch. However, as he states, "I would have done this in a heartbeat," further showing his interest in playing Casey Jones.Other Comic Book Roles Joe Manganiello Has Missed Out On Manganiello is a self-proclaimed nerd and often expresses his love for comic books and gaming. He's also a notorious Dungeons & Dragons player, hosting regular campaigns with other notable celebrities.
Manganiello has appeared in comic book movies, playing Flash Thompson in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films and getting a short-lived tenure as Deathstroke in the DCEU. His time as Deathstroke was supposed to continue, with the character meant to appear in several other films before the debacle surrounding Justice League brought that to an end.
Manganiello also lost the role of Superman to Henry Cavill in Man of Steel. He has previously stated that losing the role of Superman left him depressed for months, as it was a dream part for the actor. And while he says he doesn't regret it, he has since been the star of a superhero film, Archenemy, which sees him play a super-powered character from another dimension.
