Apart from films, DCEU has also offered some of the best shows in the last few years. ‘Arrow’ was not just one of the well-received shows, it also led to a shared universe, following the release of a spin-off titled ‘The Flash.’
The joining of James Gunn as the co-CEO of DC Studios changed a lot of things for the franchise. A lot of projects are getting rebooted and although the plans for ‘The Arrow’ have not been disclosed, it has been under discussion for some time.
Stephen Amell Responds To The Recasting Of Oliver Queen
Oliver Queen is a character that was portrayed perfectly by Stephen Amell. DCEU fans will possibly not imagine anyone else in the role except him. Since James Gunn is planning for a reboot of a majority of the projects, Arrow now might be portrayed by someone else.
Amell responded to the recasting by saying that the DCEU officials should think if they are good for television or if they wish to participate. He said that the officials can do what they want to but he would be wishing the best for whatever they are planning to do with the franchise. He added that the officials still need the original actors.
Amell added that although Oliver Queen will be new, it will be cool and exciting to see him despite that the internet has been reacting negatively to it. He added, “You’ve got to remember that these people aren’t picked at random. Very, very smart people think long and hard about how they’re going to go about this, and I’m sure that whoever they pick, if in fact they do, maybe they don’t care about the character, I don’t know, will do an amazing job.”
