Arrow: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Stephen Amell

1. He€™d Expect To Play Green Arrow In A Movie

€œOf course.€ That was how Amell responded when asked if he€™d expect to be playing Green Arrow on the big screen, should a movie version ever come into production. While he€™s been pretty coy on the subject since, and plans don€™t seem to be in place, it€™d be hard for Warner Bros. to look past him if they did decide to make a feature film, although he has stated he€™s indifferent to the idea. He was also outspoken on the casting of a new Barry Allen for the Flash movie, stating his belief that Grant Gustin, who plays him on TV, should€™ve gotten the role, before falling back with the company line about different interpretations of the character etc. The decision to keep the TV and movie strands of DC separate means that we probably won€™t get Green Arrow in a movie soon, because it€™s difficult to imagine anyone else playing the character, given how key Amell has been in establishing him, and just how popular he is.
