The CW's epic Crisis on Infinite Earths event forced Arrowverse fans to say goodbye to Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen this year, as the beloved hero sacrificed his own life to save existence.
Stephen has been praised by viewers ever since the premiere of Arrow in 2012 for his portrayal of Green Arrow, but fans shouldn't hold onto hope that he'll reprise his iconic role. He confirmed on Instagram on Tuesday that he's "done" with the Arrowverse, and added on TikTok that he might have lost his touch as DCTV's Emerald Archer.
Stephen Confirms He's "Done" With The Arrowverse
To keep his fans entertained during Coronavirus social distancing, Stephen Amell has promised to make daily posts on Instagram. During Tuesday's livestream, a fan asked if he'll ever appear on any of The CW's other DC superhero series now that Arrow has ended, but Stephen immediately shattered all hope of Oliver returning to the Arrowverse.
"No, I’m done," he said with a smile. "That was good. It was a good eight years but it was time to be done."
Later, Stephen said that he found himself watching The CW recently and felt "weird" when commercials for Supergirl, The Flash and Batwoman came on.
"It seems like a different lifetime. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again."
One Of Stephen's First TikTok Videos Paid Tribute To Arrow
Stephen proved on TikTok on Tuesday that even though he's moved on from Arrow, he won't ever forget his roots. One of the first videos he posted on his new profile featured the theme song for his hit CW series, but fans may find the clip bittersweet.
Stephen goes to reach for an arrow from his back during the video, but finds his imaginary quiver completely empty.
“Might have lost my touch,” he wrote as the caption.
He Has No Info About The Potential Green Arrow Spin-Off
The penultimate episode of Arrow was meant to serve as a prequel to the potential spin-off series Green Arrow and the Canaries, but The CW hasn't stated whether or not that series is officially happening. It's still in contention for the 2021-2022 TV season, and even though it would feature several of his former co-stars and Oliver Queen's daughter Mia, not even Stephen Amell knows anything about the show's future.
In fact, Stephen hasn't even bothered to watch the episode that set the Green Arrow and the Canaries series up.
"I actually haven’t seen that episode because I wasn’t in it," he admitted on Instagram. "I haven’t gotten around to watching it but I’m sure I will at some point."
