Stephen Amell says that he’s been pitching the Arrow ending for a while, and it sounds like he’s got his wish.
Arrow is quickly approaching its final season and while fans might be sad to see it go, Stephen Amell is confident that this is the right ending for the Emerald Archer. With the huge crossover also looming over the multiverse very soon – it seems as if the ending of Arrow will heavily tie into Crisis on Infinite Earths. Since Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen made a mysterious deal with The Monitor at the end of last year’s crossover, Elseworlds, it’s possible that deal has something to do with the ending of Arrow.
Arrow‘s final season will have appearances from classic characters from its impressive run, including John Barrowman’s Malcolm Merlyn and even Colin O’Donnell’s Tommy Merlyn. No matter the direction the season goes in, Arrow‘s ending is going to be an emotional one. When TV Guide interviewed Stephen Amell about the upcoming season, he expressed that he’s been pitching the ending for quite some time, and said that “no one” sees the surprises in the crossover coming. Will Stephen Amell’s exit from Arrow be a tearjerker? Possibly.
“It’s what I want, I pitched it for a very long time. It’s what I want, but concurrently, like, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t surprises along the way.”
