Stephen Amell has vowed to interact with fans on a daily basis to combat loneliness caused by the Coronavirus outbreak, and during an Instagram livestream earlier today, the Arrow alum addressed the possibility of returning as Oliver Queen on any of the Arrowverse shows in the future.
"No, I’m done," he confirmed. "That was good. It was a good eight years but it was time to be done."
Clearly, Amell is ready to move on from his time as the DC Comics superhero, but he did admit that he had been watching The CW the night before to check out Roswell, New Mexico. "It was actually really, really weird to watch The CW again. It was weird seeing promos for Supergirl and Flash and Batwoman again. It seems like a different lifetime. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again."
One fan asked if the actor had watched the
Green Arrows and the Canaries backdoor pilot, but it sounds like it may have passed him by.
"I actually haven’t seen that episode because I wasn’t in it," Amell confessed.
"I haven’t gotten around to watching it but I’m sure I will at some point."
Finally, he confirmed that his new Starz wrestling drama Heels has been put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That's not surprising, but he's clearly anxious to get back to work on that.
Given what Amell has previously said about the way Green Arrow's death was filmed and the fact he was pretty adamant on leaving The CW series behind, it's hard not to wonder if there's more to this story. Chances are he was just ready for something new, though, and we're excited to see what comes next for him both with Heels and beyond.
Are you disappointed that he won't be returning to the Arrowverse?
