ARROW Star Stephen Amell, Reveals He Does Not Feel Done With The Character of Oliver Queen

Recently, Arrow star Stephen Amell, has admitted that he does not feel done with playing the character, despite the shared Arrowverse having come to a close

Those who had the chance to go to the Duke Energy Convention Center this past weekend, were met with the fortunate opportunity to meet, talk, and take pictures with Arrow stars David Ramsey, and of course, Oliver Queen himself - Stephen Amell.

Though Amell's time as the Emerald Archer may have come to a close in 2019's Crisis on Infinite Earth's event, the actor has returned most recently in CW's The Flash Season 9 episode - "It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To," to put on the hood once more.

However, as The Flash's series finale has officially marked the ending of the Arrowverse, Amell revealed during the conference that he himself does not believe he is done with playing the billionaire vigilante:

Amell has shared his interest once before in reprising the role as Oliver Queen for a potential Arrow Season 9, if it were to be a limited season on Max - though no developments have been heard of.

Additonally, the chance of Amell playing the character in James Gunn's new DCU seems slim, as Gunn has yet to reveal a Green Arrow project - or even a mention of the character, along with the Black Canary who he is most associated with in the comics.

Would you like to see Stephen Amell play Oliver Queen/Green Arrow again in the DC Universe?

When presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, he hides the changes the experience had on him, while secretly seeking reconciliation with his ex, Laurel. By day he picks up where he left off, playing the carefree philanderer he used to be, but at night he dons the alter ego of Arrow and works to right the wrongs of his family and restore the city to its former glory. Complicating his mission is Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, who is determined to put the vigilante behind bars.

Arrow is an American superhero television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, a costumed crime-fighter created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp, and is the first series of the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with other related television series. The series premiered in the United States on The CW on October 10, 2012, and ran for eight seasons until January 28, 2020.

Well unless they decide to include tv show stuff in multiverse stories for movies, he is

Arrowverse is over and really Superman and Lois has done fine on its own, no need to complicate things by crossing over with shows thats have been over for years

It would not surprise me if he wound up on an episode of Peacemaker. If we ever see another episode.
Knightrider
Knightrider - 9/24/2023, 5:15 PM
@Forthas - That actually could work. He wouldn’t be playing the CW GA, but could play the Peacemaker Universe version of the character- in fact increased age rating could work quite well

That character stopped having stories to tell by the midpoint of Season 4.

This guy was a waste.

Arrow season 1 was awesome. Then it became a CW show.

If I were them I'd finish Arrow after the debut season and would put this guy on the (was a thing back then) SnyderVerse.

@MadThanos - I rewatched season 1 recently and goddamn was it grounded like a teenager looking at porn for the first time. I mean it like tried VERY hard to have very little “superheroics” in it at all and was VERY Batman Begins inspired.

Season 2 is like “ah whoops our bad - here’s Barry Allen!” and Deathstroke elevated that season to its best heights but tonally, it feels like a rebooted show.

@dracula - a show with bad ratings, bad writing, and mediocre talent. Also, no other project he’s touched has had any impact whatsoever outside of arrow. He has the personality of lukewarm dishwater. I doubt that anything he has on deck is going to be watchable to anyone outside of his family.

Wouldn't mind seeing him show up in Superman & Lois. Diggle was in it as well, so it shouldn't be impossible.

Think it could be a fun way to end Superman & Lois (and the Arrowverse) by having the Justice League, including Green Arrow and Supergirl, show up one last time.

Wasn’t he the one who wanted the series to end so he could move on to other projects?

@thedrudo - Yup! And sounds like he tried hard but couldn't 🤭🤭

@thedrudo - Yes, projects nobody gives a shit about except for himself.

He wasn't bad in the role despite the more serious take on the character. If they could get him a decent creative team I'd watch him as the character again.

First two seasons were some good shit back then, but you tried rewatching any of it lately? Ooof. Don’t know how people come at these Marvel shows when shit like Arrow is what we used to consider peak comic book TV

@PlusUltra - season 1, 2, and parts of 3 are still great. Even 5 holds up. But I'd rather a more comic accurate take in the DCU

Idk if anyone is watching Heels on Starz, but that show is surprisingly good. Obviously not comic book related, but quality of the over all production and the acting is much better than anything Arrow ever put out after say, S2. Not the highest bar, but he has moved on, and although it’s not the most glamorous show, it could be argued he’s had success after Arrow.

I think any comments about coming back for a limited series S9 of Arrow are more so revolving nostalgia and a genuine fondness for the character and his costars.

But haters gonna hate.

Heels is a great show

Good for him

thedrudo - 9/24/2023, 9:29 PM
@MuadDib - It’s pretty good. I still need to start season two. With how the season was handled, I can’t imagine it comes back for another season.

Arrow could've been one of the greats if it never introduced superpowers into the series. And if the producers had not been tricked by internet fakery into thinking there was a massive amount of Emily Bett Ricards lovers who hate Katie Cassidy. Whomever tricked those stupid producers, knew them well. When Arrow became Felicity and friends...it was done.

The producers were fooled by the same methods Zack Snyder and Fisher used to make it seem like Snyder had a fan base of millions, when it's just a few thousand using fake accounts.
