Marc Guggenheim Comments On The Future Of 'Connor Hawke' In ARROW
Season two of Arrow shocked fans when it revealed that Oliver Queen has a son - presumably Connor Hawke - who he knows nothing about. He was then referenced in season three's crossover with The Flash, but are we going to see Red Arrow in The CW series? Hit the jump for details...
Flashbacks in season two of Arrow revealed that Moira Queen paid off one of Oliver's girlfriends (who had fallen pregnant) to move to Central City and tell the future vigilante that she had lost the baby. We later found out that she was happily bringing that child up, and while him entering the show and following in the footsteps of his comic book counterpart is still a fair few seasons away, it doesn't look like the show is planning that any time soon despite speculation from fans.
Addressing a question on his Tumblr page (via Spoiler TV) Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim confirmed that there are no current plans to address Connor Hawke, now...or ever! Things could always change of course, but chances are that the team working on the series just don't think it would be that intersting to focus on Oliver fighting custody battles and the like. In the comics, Connor took up the mantle of Green Arrow when his father was believed dead, and is among the world's greatest martial artists and archers. He's also gone under the Red Arrow alias.
