Before the likes of The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman arrived on The CW, there was only Arrow. The series, originally meant to be a standalone project, created its own DC Universe (dubbed the "Arrowverse") and concluded after eight seasons and multiple crossover events.
Star Stephen Amell bid farewell to Oliver Queen when the hero was killed off, but has he left the door open to playing Green Arrow again? Recently, DC Comics fans have expressed an interest in seeing Grant Gustin replace the seemingly always controversial Ezra Miller after The Flash, so why not have Amell play the DC Extended Universe's Emerald Archer when that world's reality is rewritten?
While Amell didn't comment on the possibility during a recent interview with Den of Geek, he did express a willingness to suit up again if The CW were to come calling.
"Oh, sure. I owe so much to the people of DC, The CW, and Warner Bros. Television. I love the character so much and only love it more now that it's coming up on two years since we wrapped the show," he told the site. "But having a little space now, I saw that I miss it. I do look back very, very, very fondly on it. Listen, I’m the namesake."
"So, if I can ever be of any any help, if I can be of service to the Arrowverse in any way, shape or form, or better still take it to a new place, which I think would be the more interesting route to go," Amell continued, "be that in a limited capacity or on a different platform, maybe one where we could show blood, that’d be really cool."
With a TV-14 rating, Arrow was a little tame in terms of violence, but HBO Max could open the door to one more story with this character (that's a little more bloody). There were once plans for a Supermax movie with Oliver Queen attempting to escape from a prison full of supervillains after he was framed for murder, so we'd be on board with that concept being revisited if Amell was attached.
Would you be open to seeing more Arrow?
