‘Arrow’ Star Stephen Amell Reveals If He Would Play A Marvel Character

Arrow star Stephen Amell has revealed whether or not he would be up to crossover and play a Marvel character after starring as DC’s Green Arrow for the last seven years.

Arrow served as launch pad for much of the network’s current superhero lineup including DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash, which gave Grant Gustin’s Scarlet Speedster his own series in the Arrowverse after he was introduced in the second season of Arrow. Thanks to the popularity and success of Arrow, much of The CW’s content now consists of superhero shows including Supergirl, and Black Lightning, and Batwoman series which is currently in development.

Earlier this year, Stephen Amell himself took to social media to announce that Arrow would be coming to an end this fall, after an abbreviated final run of 10 episodes. Naturally, fans are looking to the future for the actors of the series. Stephen Amell was asked by a fan MegaCon in Orlando over the weekend whether or not had considered taking on a Marvel role. Here’s what he had to say:

“I don’t know, man. I do know that I think there’s a negative connotation surrounding being typecast. What you want as an actor…is that the big thing you do as an actor is to get work in the first place. So how do you get typecast? You get typecast because you get work. And you do something to the point that there’s a distinction to it and that distinction makes people identify you with that type of character. I don’t know what I’m going to do. That’s one of the reasons that it’s time for me to move on is that I want to get my hat back in the ring. That’s a new character, that’s a Marvel character, that’s a DC character, whatever — we’ll see.”

So what do you think? What Marvel character would you like to see Stephen Amell play? Are there any roles outside of comic book adaptations you would like to see Stephen Amell take on? Let us know in the comments below.

Arrow stars Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Katie Cassidy, Echo Kellum, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Colton Haynes, Kirk Acevedo, Sea Shimooka, and Katie Cassidy Rodgers. Here’s the official synopsis for the final season:

 After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, Oliver successfully saved his city with the help of his team including former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), former protégé Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez), metahuman Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum) and Earth-2 Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy). In the wake of discovering what his future holds, Oliver will find himself pit against his most challenging battle yet, one that will leave the multiverse hanging in the balance. In Arrow’s final season, Oliver Queen is forced to confront the reality of what it means to be a hero. Based on the characters from DC, ARROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Supergirl,” “Riverdale”), Beth Schwartz (“DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”) and Sarah Schechter (“The Flash,” “Supergirl,” “Riverdale”).

Arrow returns this fall for its eighth and final season.
