As we all know here at comicbookmovie.com, Grant Gustin has been given his own series as Barry Allen by The CW, following the character's awesome live action appearances in Arrow's 8th and 9th episode this season. The show is set to begin filming its Pilot in March of this year in Vancouver, the same city where Arrow is filmed. It is likely that the studios and production teams will shared between the two DC Comics based shows. So it was not surprising when Stephen Amell hinted that a future crossover between Arrow and its upcoming spinoff The Flash is still possible as both shows will be filmed in the same neighbourhoods.

Arrow star Amell recently had this to say to Access Hollywood about his character Oliver Queen and Barry Allen crossing paths again:

"It's always possible," he explained. "I mean, originally he was supposed to be involved in our 20th episode, and that's not happening." The actor continued, "I know that it's less likely that he comes back this season because I think [they] rightly want to save his story for his show, but if his show is successful and is on the air, I can't imagine that we wouldn't use the opportunity to do crossover events so to speak."


Amell also said that he really enjoys working with Gustin.

"Grant was great and he gets a lot of credit too," he said. "He was the star of episode eight." He went on to say, "It was [Grant's] story and he nailed it and that's an incredibly difficult thing to do to come in as a guest and really take ownership of an episode and he did it. He killed it. It's why they took it from episode 20 and made it a pilot because they're banking on him and they should be."

Singer is giving Quicksilver one scene that will last 3 minutes tops. There is no competition here.

I like Gustin. Can't wait to see the suit!

Speaking as somebody who loved Man of Steel, and is excited as all hell about Batman/Superman and all of its casting and character choices, they really need to sort their crap out. Arrow has developed so much faster in much less time, The Flash has been announced and will air before we see anything more in the DC cinematic universe. We'll more than likely see a photo of the new Flash suit before we see Afflecks Batman. DC should stick with TV, its where its working for them

He better have the classic costume (bright red not dull like Arrow's costume) and this better be different to Arrow's format and tone.

@JediPhilosopher Some heroes are far better suited for TV than film.
An example would be Daredevil. Daredevil is not visually dynamic enough to be a big budget film. And if you did low budget Daredevil films then in 10 years you would have 3 movies and maybe 6 hours of film. Whereas in TV you can tell his story at a slower pace, have more depth to story and character and have 22 episodes of film a year.
What would be really great is to see unrated cable series of Daredevil or Punisher. Because the characters could be explored even better.

The great thing about movies is the budget. The bad thing is everything has to happen fast. Studios don't allow subtlety in action films. Just action with humor.

Arrow, like DD is a character that isn't spectacular enough for film. But on TV he gets so much more detail and exploration. And fans get 22 episodes a year instead of 1 every 3 years.

Another franchise that shouldn't be in film is Star Trek. Notice that Next Generation had plenty of great episodes then sucked when converted to films because it was sped up and dumbed down.

YES! I cannot wait to see this freakin' series!

I do hope they release a photo of the suit at some point in the next couple of months-- I am DYING to see what the Flash is going to look like! (Something close to traditional would be nice-- but if it's weird, I want to see it with enough advance notice so that I can get used to it by the time the pilot airs...)

This show is going to ROCK!!!
