Stephen Amell Hints Green Arrow Is Headed To The DC Movie Universe Minus Him

Will see see a different Green Arrow in the DCEU than on TV?

It’s definitely possible, especially considering Zack Snyder cast a different actor for the Justice League movie Flash.

And it’s already known the Arrow Suicide Squad characters, and most likely Black Canary, were killed off to pave way for the characters to appear in the DC movies.

Now while appearing on Larry King, Arrow star Stephen Amell seemingly hints the same path might be set for his character as well. 

Stephen Amell makes it known there are no present plans for Green Arrow in the DC movie universe, but says if there were, they probably wouldn’t include him. Amell then makes note “but things change,” which obviously suggests Green Arrow may eventually appear on the silver screen at some point minus his involvement.

Watch the video below for yourself especially paying attention to that last remark, “but things change,” that comes of rather skeptical.

Here’s the text:

“Well, I mean it has become easier to take properties on television and turn them into films, but I don’t know, those are things that exist out…” Amell said, with Larry King interrupting that Grant Gustin wasn’t cast as the movie Flash.

“No. The cinematic universe and the television universe are separate,” Amell responded.

Larry King then remarked that Amell might not be cast if there was a movie.

“I might not be. I’ve spoken with people within DC, and they said there’s no plan to bring the Green Arrow character to the cinematic universe,’  Amell said, and then added, with a seemingly skeptical, “But things change.”

It should be noted Arrow is returning for a Season 5, so it’s not like the series is getting cancelled. Similar to The Flash TV series, it’s possible both the TV and movie versions could run concurrently; however, would Stephen Amell be down with that and another actor playing the role of Oliver Queen and Green Arrow?

Tyrese Ticked Off Warner Bros. With Green Lantern Hype

Tyrese comes clean with Larry King about potentially playing Green Lantern.

The actor teased numerous times that he may have gotten the role, or at least seemed to, but now he tells Larry King he was just following up on fan art posted online.

“You know how they have fan-made kind of things online? A fan did this image of me as the Green Lantern.  A fan. And I was like, ‘Woah, that looks cool.’ And I posted it on my Instagram, and it just went crazy — over 1,500 sites. And it was just all of this buzz, and I was like I might as well run with this thing. And I did,” Tyrese said.

Tyrese continues with mention that not only did a lot of people notice, but WB did as well, and that it kind of ticked WB off a bit because it made it seem as if Tyrese landed the Green Lantern role.

“Pissed the people off, a little bit, at Warner Brothers because they thought that I had convinced the world that I had landed the role, which I didn’t. And I said, ‘If you go down my timeline, at no point did I say the role is mine,'” explained Tyrese. “But, you know, there have been other artists, actors and actresses who have put up images of them as a comic book character and ended up landing a role. So I was like, it’s worth giving it a shot.”

Tyrese does confirm he eventually met with Warner Bros. about Green Lantern, but he says it’s more or less a long shot.

“I did meet with Warner Brothers, though.  And…um…shoot me a prayer, Larry.  I would love it. I’ve taken the oath. I would love to do it,” Tyrese said.

WB is rebooting Green Lantern with their new Justice League universe. So far not much is known other than the title, Green Lantern Corps, and a 2020 release date. Rumors have been flying suggesting it’s going to be a buddy space cop movie, and that Green Lantern may not appear in the DCCU until Justice League  –  Part 2.

Stan Lee continued with mention his cameo will be the biggest thing since sliced bread.

“The whole world is now saying, because everybody watches your show, they’re all saying ‘who could possibly be that important to Stan?’ This is going to become the biggest talking point throughout the whole country.”

Stan Lee also told Larry King he doesn’t have anything invested in the Fox X-Men movies and doesn’t receive payments for them.

Watch: Stan Lee Responds To Fantastic Four Flop

Fantastic Four currently sits at $155 million worldwide at the box office with a 9% positive (or 91% negative, depending on how you want to look at it) Rotten Tomatoes score.

Now the co-creator of the Fantastic Four, Stan Lee, weighs in on the movie’s flop while speaking with Larry King.

“It was probably because I didn’t have a cameo in it,” Lee offered. “They didn’t discuss the story with me. I haven’t seen it yet. I really can’t comment about it.”

King, surprised that Stan Lee hasn’t seen Fantastic Four, questioned why he wouldn’t run to see it.

“I don’t run to see anything,” Lee responded. “I walk jaunty-jolly, as Mel Brooks would say, and I just get there eventually.”

Stan Lee also offers it “may be true” that movie studios reboot things too quickly.

It’s learned the next X-Men movie will be without Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

Larry King recently interviewed Patrick Stewart and asked the first Professor X if he was going to be in X-Men: Apocalypse, which comes out in 2016.

Yahoo got a first peek at the interview with Stewart from Larry King, with their article also noting that Patrick Stewart hasn’t rules out being a part of an X-Men spinoff film like Deadpool or Gambit.

X-Men: Apocalypse has a May 7, 2016 release directed by Bryan Singer starring Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Michael Fassbender as Magneto and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier.
