Stephen Amell’s Green Arrow is one character loved by every fan. His acting as the character brought so much praise towards him that his series kickstarted the entire Arrowverse. His series was highly acclaimed and the character became iconic, much like Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man or Henry Cavill’s Superman. It was his talent that always made it a lovely sight whenever Oliver Queen showed up in another Arrowverse series.

Amell believes that there is a lot of room for exploration in Oliver Queen’s character and his story. For that, he is open to stepping into James Gunn’s upcoming franchise and giving another string of ideas that would bring to life Oliver Queen’s story after it ultimately ended in 2020.

Tyler Hoechlin’s series is still ongoing and has since been confirmed to exist in a universe outside of the Arrowverse. After so many years, the franchise will finally conclude, marking the end of an era and the start of a new one.
