"This was something that was worked out over a year ahead with DC Entertainment," he explained.
We'll find out."Įven if Ramsey knows, he can't say, and neither can Guggenheim. "He did get a green box, and it was very exciting, and I don't know what that means, but he does go to Metropolis and he got a green box and we'll see," Ramsey said. We don't know exactly what's in the box, but it means that Diggle's story is not yet over. Rene (Rick Gonzalez) is running for office, and we know he's mayor in 2040, when the spinoff takes place.Īs for Diggle ( David Ramsey), he's got something very different going on.Īt the end of the episode, just before he was moving to Metropolis with his wife and both his children, he witnessed a small box fall out of space. He picked it up, opened it, and was hit with a whole bunch of green space light. "We'll find a way."Īrrow's other main characters all clearly have things to do in potential other shows.ĭinah ( Juliana Harkavy) will join the spinoff along with Laurel if it happens, so for now, she's off looking for people who need her help. "Oh, we can play that in the spinoff," Schwartz said. If Green Arrow and the Canaries goes forward, hopefully that spark can grow. "I think it was in the stage direction," he said. When a reporter asked about it, Guggenheim nodded emphatically. If you thought you spotted a spark between Tommy and this Laurel, spot a spark you did. We learn in one brief conversation at Oliver's funeral that Tommy and the original Earth-1 Laurel had been married before her death, and now he's really happy to see the Earth-2 Laurel who remains.
We've met alternate versions of him through the years since his death in season one, but now he's really truly alive. Speaking of Colin Donnell though, the Earth-Prime reboot did bring Tommy back from the dead, finally.

He's practically a series regular still in season eight."īringing Oliver back in the premiere of The Flash season seven, for example, would probably ruin the death a bit, but Guggenheim said he would always love to see Stephen back. We got time travel, we got flashbacks, you name it. "And the one thing I always say every time a character dies on any of the shows, it's like, we've got alternate realities.
You know, the whole point of making him the Spectre was just to give us opportunities, to give us story opportunities, because who knows what's going to happen in the future," executive producer Marc Guggenheim said after a screening of the finale. "As we've sort of said, in the saga, so he's become something else.
In reality we're not likely to see Oliver again for a while, but never say never, especially after we've all had time to really process his death. "There's always the opportunity to cut to him and Felicity in the afterlife just hangin' out," showrunner Beth Schwartz joked. So it feels like we might not be saying a real goodbye to most of Arrow's main characters anyway, especially if spinoff Green Arrow and the Canaries makes it to TV.
