THE CW / THE FLASH: ARROW’S “OLIVER QUEEN” RETURNS!!
THE CW: The Arrow-vers began with Green Arrow, and now it looks to end with Green Arrow. In a full-circle event, Oliver Queen will return for The Flash’s final season. But it’s unclear if he’ll be slinging arrows as Green Arrow. As fans may or may not know, Oliver Queen died… Sort of. So it’ll be interesting to see how they bring him back. Oliver, in some form, will return in episode 9 of the final season, along with John Diggle/Spartan and Wally West/Kid FLash… What a jam-packed episode that’s going to be.
Executive producer Eric Wallace shared to Deadline; ”As soon as our final season was announced, we knew we wanted Stephen to come back and reprise his iconic role as Oliver Queen,” he said. “After all, it was Oliver who originally launched Barry Allen on his heroic path. That’s why everyone on Team Flash felt so strongly that it was important to create a full-circle moment with Oliver’s return in the final season of The Flash. The result is an epic-yet-emotional episode we hope Arrowverse fans will enjoy. It’s all to say ‘thank you’ to everyone for watching and supporting our show throughout nine wonderful years. We absolutely cannot wait for everyone to see Grant and Stephen saving the world together again. And yes, there will be thrills, chills, and tears.”
