It Sounds Like We Should Forget About 'Hal Jordan' Coming To Season Four Of ARROW
Season three of Arrow and the first season of The Flash featured more than a few apparent nods to Coast City's Hal Jordan, a.k.a. Green Lantern. However, executive producer Marc Guggenheim has now shed some light on the chances of him showing up, and it doesn't sound good...
Scattered throughout the most recent seasons of Arrow and The Flash were some serious hints about Hal Jordan joining The CW corner of the DC Universe. Between mentions of a missing test pilot and lots of nods to Ferris Air (not to mention Oliver Queen heading off to Coast City at the end of season three, an indication perhaps that the character would show up in flashbacks), it seemed like it was on the cards, but not so according to Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenhiem.
"They announced the 'Green Lantern Corps' movie, and I’d be surprised if it didn’t include Hal Jordan," he told The Hollywood Reporter when asked about the chances of Hal making an appearance in season four. "It would be great but I doubt it very much." Well, that's that then! This feels like a missed opportunity, especially as Green Lantern Corps is actually still five years away. Of course, Guggenheim could be bluffing, especially as we have a small screen Barry Allen...Hal starring in the upcoming movie really should't stop him showing up in Arrow, right?
