Stephen Amell made an appearance this weekend at the Montreal Comic Con, he revealed some information about the Season 3 Premiere. One specific tease that he dropped was sure to leave fans wondering how it is even possible.
“We start off the third season…it was always the idea of the producers that..you know how in James Bond movies they start off with a big action sequence that isn’t directly tied into the plot of that particular movie? It’s just to establish that we are watching an action film, and it’s James Bond and he does James Bond stuff,” said Amell. “We start off the third season with a gigantic action set piece. You’ve seen pieces of it in the preview for Season 3, and it is myself, Diggle, Roy, and his whole costume. And then of course Felicity at the helm. And it’s just all of us kicking ass. And it’s good. And I will tell you that, I’ve got one for you, in the premiere of Arrow, me, dressed in a suit as Oliver Queen beats up the Arrow. What? It will make sense when you see it"
Maybe Oliver is going to have to get Diggle to don the Arrow suit to prove he is not the Arrow once again. Or, Maybe Oliver is thinking of the words that Maseo Yamashiro (played by Karl Yune) said to him in the Season 3 trailer "A Man can not live by two names" and starts beating him self up. Its not like it didn't happened before. In Season 2 episode 9, Oliver did get the crap beat out of him by an imaginary Slade. So what do you guys think?
