Green Arrow, and it remains his most well-known role. The main Arrowverse continuity came to an end in 2023, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean we\u2019ll never see Amell portray DC Comics\u2019 Emerald Archer again. The actor sounds game to reprise him in the DC Universe franchise that launched almost exactly a year ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Stephen Amell let this be known while taking part in the Arrowverse Heroes panel at Motor City Comic Con, which was moderated by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/stephen-amell-green-arrow-dcu-return-response\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ScreenRant;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ScreenRant<\/a>\u2019s Joe Deckelmeier. He was on stage with fellow <em>Arrow<\/em> alum David Ramsey, who played John Diggle, and the two of them were asked if they\u2019d want to play those same roles in the DCU or play new characters if the opportunity came along. Amell first said he would be \u201cdown to do anything that makes the fans happy,\u201d then continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I love playing the Green Arrow, I love playing Oliver Queen. But I think, more than that, I like how it makes people feel when I come to these conventions, or just when I&#8217;m walking around on a daily basis. Not a day goes by that someone doesn&#8217;t talk to me about Arrow, the Green Arrow, Oliver Queen. But they always then relate it back to their experience with the series, how it made them feel, whether they bonded with a sibling, or a parent, or a friend with the series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The DCU has already set precedence with keeping certain actors attached to their same DC roles. <em>Peacemaker<\/em> Season 2 is set in this new franchise, but John Cena, Jennifer Holland and others continue to play the same characters from <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em> and <em>Peacemaker<\/em> Season 1, which were set in the now-defunct DCEU. As an example of another franchise, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/dame-judi-dench-reveals-she-120040232.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Judi Dench first played M in the Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Judi Dench first played M in the Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies<\/a>, then played a different version of that character in Daniel Craig\u2019s film series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So it\u2019s not an impossible scenario where Stephen Amell could don the Green Arrow suit again for the DCU. He\u2019s not the only leading Arrowverse actor who\u2019d be interested in doing something like this, as <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/grant-gustin-sign-james-gunn-182513228.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Grant Gustin that he would want to reprise The Flash;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Grant Gustin that he would want to reprise The Flash<\/a> if James Gunn approached him to star in an <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/upcoming-dc-movies-whats-next-233050594.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:upcoming DC movie;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">upcoming DC movie<\/a>. The thing to remember, however, is that if Amell and Gustin were play their respecting DC heroes again, these almost certainly wouldn\u2019t be the exact same versions of those characters we followed along with in the Arrowverse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sure, the multiverse would technically allow for those familiar versions of Green Arrow and Flash to continue on. However, in Amell\u2019s case, Oliver Queen died in the <em>Arrow<\/em>\u2019s final season and became The Spectre. You\u2019d have to jump through a lot of hoops to bring him back without those godlike powers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While it\u2019s good to know that Stephen Amell is enthusiastic about playing Green Arrow again and remaining connected to that fanbase, there\u2019s no indication the character will be introduced to the DCU anytime soon. Instead, next up for the franchise is <em>Supergirl<\/em>\u2019s release in theaters on June 26, 2026, followed by <em>Clayface<\/em> on September 11 of the same year, and <em>Lanterns<\/em> premiering on HBO sometime between them.
