ARROW Actor David Ramsey Promises That Diggle's GREEN LANTERN Teases Will Be Addressed In Series Finale

The last few seasons of The CW's Arrow have heavily teased that John Diggle aka Spartan, is actually destined to become a new Green Lantern. Fans will finally get closure this Tuesday in the series finale.

A Flash from an alternate dimension sees John and asks where his ring is. A flashback to John's military days reveals that his stepfather's last name is Stewart (a tease that Diggle's name could be John Stewart). These teasers and more have all but assured fans that a Green Lantern power ring is in Diggle's future. 

Speaking to TV Line, actor David Ramsey says fans will finally receive a definitive answer this Tuesday, during the series finale.

"Without a doubt. You are absolutely going to get your answers. And well-deserved answers. We’ve been talking about this for years, and I think everyone by series’ end will be very happy."

One of the most popular supporting characters on Arrow, a guest spot on The Flash following the Arrow series finale already has fans buzzing about Diggle possibly making a move to Central City.   

Arrow‘s season 8, episode 10 series finale "Fadeout"  airs Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 9/8c, closing out an eight-year run that birthed a massive DC Comics television universe. A 1-hr special before the series finale,  Arrow: Hitting the Bullseye will examine the show's impact.

Colton Haynes' struggles with an anxiety disorder caused him to periodically leave the show at times but his character remains a fan-favorite that will hopefully appear in the Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff.

Katie Cassidy's Earth-2 Laurel Lance will co-lead The CW's planned Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff, which follows the daughter of Oliver and Felicity.



It all started and ends with Amell. However, rumors persist that Oliver will somehow turn into The Spectre before season's end so perhaps Amell's time in the Arrowverse isn't truly over just yet?


Despite fans consistently clamoring for Donnell's full-time return after his character's season 1 demise, Donnell went on to find greater success on NBC's Chicago Med and recently returned to theater acting.



Kellum departed Arrow in season 7 but returns as a special guest in season 8. Fun Fact: A graudate of several improve theater groups (including the Upright Citizens Brigade) He also voice several Rick and Morty characters and regularly appears in Instagram comedy skits.




Juliana Harkavy's Dinah Drake will co-lead the upcoming Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff, which will receive a backdoor pilot later on in season 8.



McNamara will lead the Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff.

How did this even become a thing that should be expected?
Himura

@DonDave - Because there have been obvious hints at it for awhile now. More recently the fact that his stepdad's name is General Stewart and another Flash asked him where his ring was.

So yes, to people who have been watching the show, its something we've come to expect for a very long time now.

@DonDave - have...you been watching the show? While this was a fan theory for the longest time, there have been strong hints toward this. Like John's father being named stewart, the flash of the 90s series recognizing John's doppelganger while commenting "where's your ring". Its pretty clear what they're trying here.

@Origame - I'm aware. I'm just not sure why they went down this path in the first place.

This has been a tease to the point where you question if it was worth even being a thing at all

Should have had a GL tease during Crisis, one of my complaints for the crossover is that he wasnt utilized, especially after all the setup of him being with Oliver throughout season 8.

@HeavyMetal4Life - They did tease the GL Corp in Crisis....

Ryan Reynolds will probably show up for a two minute cameo.

@Reeds2Much - i do not think Reynolds would ever make it right UNLESS he got to a point in his career were he was desperate for work.

Diggle in his house reflecting. Green light from the window behind him. Scene. Everyone screams in frustration

What's the point? He spends the whole series as a knob in a stupid helmet and in the last episode they make him GL?!

SMFH.

The ring scene was interesting indeed.

I thought it was already confirmed that Diggle was getting a Green Lantern spin-off.

@TheManWithoutFear - I don't think there's ever been any indication that the Green Lantern show was Diggle-related. Crisis suggested it was set in a different universe, even.

It just makes sense. Green Lanterns absence is sorely felt in this series. In the comics, Ollie and Hal are best of friends. So turning Diggle into a Lantern can set up some of the best adventures from the comics, especially with the Spectre now involved.

This thumbnail just made me realize how similar Diggle's mask's lines are to the Armorer's. It feels almost like a plastic Halloween version of a Mandalorian helmet.



(Kind of a shame CW dodn't go the full nine yards for it. Could have looked pretty cool.)

Really hope this continues the 2011 movie. Otherwise showing that movie at the end of Crisis would've been a dumb tease

After all the teasers, the Elseworlds one by 90s Flash, the fact that they established the new Earth-12 as the home of the Green Lantern Corps and well by default of all the other Lantern Corps and that HBO Max show...it'd be quite something if it was confirmed. And more hype for that said show coming soon.
