Stephen Amell Open To Playing Green Arrow In A 'JUSTICE LEAGUE' Film

Speaking to SciFiNow, "Arrow" actor Stephen Amell shared that he believes Green Arrow could be the next B-list superhero to breakout into mainstream media similar to how Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man" exploded in 2008 to become a pop culture phenomenon. Said Amell, “I think that Green Arrow has an opportunity to mature in much the same way Iron Man did in the Marvel universe. He wasn’t necessarily a top level character, but because they made an Iron Man movie and it was successful, it vaulted him up and now he anchors the Avengers."

Amell also told SciFiNow that he'd love to co-star in a "Justice League" film and that he'd even sweep the floor when filming wrapped. Commenting further, Amell added, "It’s always up to what’s popular at the moment. Right now archery seems to be having a mini renaissance, so hopefully he can settle into a firm rotating member of the DC Justice League of America.”

Hell yes. In the second one, not the first. But Green Arrow might seem a little unnecessary alongside Green Lantern, Flash and Superman

I like ARROW show & he's good in the role but..call him GREEN ARROW!!
Saying he's a "vigilante" or "archer" or "hood" is getting lame.

The show can be called ARROW but call him GA or GTFO.

The Arrow TV series shouldn't be a part of the DC Cinematic Universe, that would confuse people who aren't hardcore fans. I do think he'd make a great Green Arrow in a JL film... Too bad that probably won't happen

This a no brainer. Of course WB/DC should tie everything they have into the DCCU.

It would be great if supes or Diana get involved in a fight in Starlimg City where arrow tells them to get away of his city while he is trying to save some people.

Only if they go the New 52 route. Justice League rejects Green Arrow, he then joins Justice League of America to combat Batman if the Government tell him to.

He can bring Colton Haynes/Roy Harper along as well.
It will be the hottest Superhero film ever!

If he is in the second JL I wouldn't mind. If they find a way to use him well in the first JL maybe but I doubt for the first one.

Of course he does! B-List TV actors would love to be in a big budget summer blockbuster...lmfao

I think it's weird that he specified the "Justice League of America" as the one he wants to join.

No offense to Amell but TV stars never translate well to the big screen. Audiences will associate him with Arrow and Wednesday nights. Doesn't work. Movie characters need to last and transcend their mini-budget TV shows.

Charlie Hunnam for Oliver. Dude is badass. Will bring a much needed grit to McQueen Industries.



But save him for JL 2/sequel, please :)

he has done an excellent job on arrow so far. I dont know if arrow can be one of the characters for a JL film. I would have batman, superman, flash wonder woman and martian manhunter. The plot would center round the martian manhunter

DCnation went full retard

Hunnam is the star of sons of anarchy, a Tv show.

MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

And to those ignorant users saying "call him green arrow" and "he's a killer", they've already confirmed this will be the case.

He is transitioning into a hero and will be called green arrow. It's confirmed and will happen in due time

Similar to RDJ as Iron Man?! Yeah right. No offense.

if arrow lasts a few seasons, and he gets better AND becomes a bigger name, it could work.
