As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia whenever I think about Stephen Amell and his iconic portrayal of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in the hit series, Arrow. Despite moving on to other projects like Heels and Suits L.A., it seems that the Green Arrow will always be synonymous with Amell’s name.
Four years have passed since “Arrow” concluded its eight-season run on The CW, and although series lead Stephen Amell has moved forward with other ventures such as “Heels” and “Suits L.A.”, his portrayal of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow continues to be a significant part of his fanbase’s recognition. This ongoing association often leads to Amell being questioned about “Arrow”, even during a recent interview on Michael Rosenbaum’s “Inside of You” podcast (as reported by CBR). During this discussion, Amell expressed openness towards revisiting a more mature (“hard R”) version of “Arrow”, but also shared an intriguing piece of information. According to Amell, there had been talks about an “Arrow” film, but Warner Bros. ultimately scrapped the plan.
Amell clarified his comments about an Arrow revival, stating, “I was just kidding around.” He expressed enthusiasm for the possibility of revisiting Arrow in the future, suggesting a more raw and explicit version of the series, allowing him to use stronger language and engage in more intense action scenes.
He went on to say that that sort of version would be fun and that they tried to do it, before elaborating that there was a movie idea that just didn’t make it past the studio.
As far as I can gather, he stated that it was apparently cancelled at a studio level by individuals who, in my opinion, were acting upon fears rather than rational decisions. (Amell)
As a dedicated gamer and fan of DC Comics, I can’t help but reflect on my journey with the groundbreaking TV show, Arrow. Though it’s unclear whether the concept of a movie was floated during its run or as it neared its end, one thing is certain – Arrow was a pivotal moment in live-action DC entertainment, especially on television.
Despite the significant influence that “Arrow” had on DC’s television entertainment, it doesn’t exempt Stephen Amell from having some disagreements with other parts of the broader DC universe. For instance, during the first season of “Peacemaker,” a joke was made at Green Arrow’s expense which Amell found displeasing. In this joke, “Peacemaker” suggests that Green Arrow attends Brony conventions dressed as the rear half of Twilight Sparkle. More recently, Amell expressed that he didn’t take kindly to this jab and felt it was intended for “Arrow.” The series and the larger Arrowverse have faced challenges with Warner Bros., especially concerning the utilization of different characters that might also be destined for use in movies.
In a conversation with Chris Van Vliet on YouTube, Amell expressed that the criticism towards their show was excessive. He felt that their series, “Peacemaker,” had been treated poorly compared to the DC movies, despite both being part of the same universe. Although he admits he’s not angry, he recalls feeling frustrated when hearing such comments. As an actor playing a superhero without powers in a demanding role for 23 episodes annually, he feels his hard work should be recognized rather than dismissed.
All 8 seasons of Arrow are streaming on Netflix.
