ARROW Star Stephen Amell Believes DCU "[Needs Arrowverse Actors] A Lot More Than We Need Them"

Following the recent conclusion of The Flash on The CW, the Arrowverse is no more. Arrow ended in 2020, while Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow were cancelled last year much to the disappointment of many fans. 

We don't anticipate the Arrowverse ever being revisited, especially as DC Studios plans to create a slate of movies and TV shows all set in the same DCU. Some DCEU actors will reprise their roles in that world and we don't anticipate Stephen Amell, for example, being given the chance to play Green Arrow again. 

During a recent Whatnot autograph signing, he was actually asked how he feels about another actor picking up where he left off. 

"I don’t know, man. I don’t know. Those guys, the DCEU, they need to decide if they think that they’re better than television or if they want to participate," Amell responded. "Because I get mixed messages, which to me just signals that, I don’t know. You guys do your own thing. We did our thing."

"I wish everyone nothing but the best. I want nothing more than amazing movies, but right now, they need us a lot more than we need them."

Warner Bros. has never treated these Arrowverse actors very well and various stars from The CW's TV shows have expressed disappointment about not being asked to suit up in big screen projects like Justice League and Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey

Despite that, Amell remains supportive of whoever is next to wield the Emerald Archer's bow and arrow. 

"There will be another Oliver Queen. There will and it'll be new and cool and exciting and however much the internet hates it is probably a direct indication as to how good it's going to be."

"Very, very smart people think long and hard about how they're going to go about this, and I'm sure that whoever they pick, if in fact they do, maybe they don't care about the character, I don't know, will do an amazing job."

It would be fun to see Amell join the DCU, but it appears his time as part of this comic book franchise has reached its end. A fresh start for the entire DCU would be best, though DC Studios has sent mixed messages on that front by recasting some characters and keeping others.
