Stephen Amell could be toying with the idea of returning as Green Arrow, and Katie Cassidy is now saying she hopes there is a way back into the Arrow universe.
The timing is interesting, especially after the official Arrow Facebook page sparked speculation back in November when it posted an image of Amell as Oliver Queen with the caption, âBack with a vengeance.â
At the same time, The Flash CW Facebook page also posted, âYou canât let the threat of losing tomorrow keep you from making the most of today.â
Those posts hit just a week later, after I revealed the SnyderVerse is fully back in play with Paramount buying WBD (backed up by Kevin Smith), and with Zack Snyder returning to Instagram with DCEU images.
Now Amell and Cassidy are adding more fuel to the fire, which follows Zack Snyder’s recent Batman and Superman teases and his post from the Paramount lot.
Stephen Amell jokes about Green Arrow return
Amell posted a funny video where his son keeps calling him the âPink Arrow.â
Amell, using his Oliver Queen-style gruff voice, repeatedly corrects him.
âI am the Green Arrow,â Amell says, only for his son to keep calling him Pink Arrow.
Amell captioned the video, âIf I ever come back, itâll be to spite my 4 year old son.â
Arrow ended in 2020, but Amell has never fully disappeared from the DC conversation. He returned for The Flash final season, and fans still view Oliver Queen as the character who launched the entire Arrowverse.
Katie Cassidy says maybe Arrow could continue on film
The next day, Katie Cassidy also addressed the possibility of returning.
Cassidy, who played Laurel Lance/Black Canary and Black Siren across the Arrowverse, told CBM she hopes there is still a future for the franchise.
âI hope and wish, and weâll see what the future holds, but to come back to it at some point and what that may look like… You see everywhere now theyâre doing all these reboots or whatnot,â Cassidy said. âMaybe thereâs a world in which the universe continues in some way, and maybe that is on film.â
Cassidy is not only talking about another TV cameo. She is leaving the door open for Arrow to continue in another format, maybe even on film. I’ve actually been told the Saudis, who are backing Paramount, want Zack Snyder’s DCEU back in a SnyderVerse-level event to rival Marvel. Maybe the Arrowverse also returns.
Arrowverse already connected to the DCEU
It is also worth remembering the Arrowverse already connected directly to Zack Snyderâs DCEU.
During Crisis on Infinite Earths, Ezra Miller appeared as The Flash alongside Grant Gustinâs Barry Allen.
The scene made the Arrowverse and the DCEU part of the same larger DC multiverse.
It also gave fans one of the biggest surprises in DC TV history. What’s next?
