Arrow star David Ramsey recently spoke about the possibility of his character John Diggle taking on the mantle of Green Lantern in the future of The CW‘s DC universe.
While talking with TV Guide, Ramsey addressed the possibility of Diggle suiting up as the iconic superhero, Green Lantern:
“We’ve been talking about that ring since Season 1. I always loved the idea of being able to jump into the John Stewart mythos, obviously, but I also loved the idea that we were creating something that didn’t exist before. John Diggle never existed before. We created this character, Spartan, that never existed in the comics or in any other universe, and now it’s part of the comics. So that was always something and continues to be something I’m really proud of. But who can resist playing the Green Lantern? So yeah, was I excited when I saw that? Without a doubt. Will it ever happen? Who knows. I don’t have the answer to that — it’s way above my paygrade — but it’s something would love to do. Even without [the Green Lantern], I think that John Diggle, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) work. If John Stewart fits within that realm some type of way or another, great. If not, I couldn’t have picked a better role to have played in my life.”
