Will A Small Screen JUSTICE LEAGUE Assemble At The End Of ARROW's Third Season?
Highlights from Stephen Amell's panel at NYCC include hints that Laurel will become The Canary sooner rather than later, news on Malcolm Merlyn's return, details on the biggest fight scene the show has ever done and that there's a reason The CW are introducing so many costumed heroes...
Bleeding Cool were at Stephen Amell's panel at the New York Comic Con yesterday where he addressed over 1000 Arrow fans eager to hear more from the actor about what's to come in season three. According to the site, Amell talked about the recent [WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD] death of Sara and apparently dropped, "more hints that Laurel may soon take up the mantle." The Arrow will apparently come face to face with Malcolm Merlyn in the third episode of The CW drama, and the ninth - which is the Fall finale - will end on a big cliffhanger which, "features the longest fight scene they have had on the show, a sword fight for which Oliver is shirtless the entire time." As you can probably imagine, that was met with big cheers from those in attendance! However, perhaps the biggest reveal came when Amell was asked about the sudden increase of heroes in this world, something which the actor responded by saying, "that the number of heroes would be important in the resolution of Season 3." Could it be that we'll see a small screen Justice League assemble? My guess would be yes, but we're just going to have to wait and see.
