Katie Cassidy would go on to have an impactful run across the Arrowverse in so many ways – but there was no way she would know that heading into April 6, 2016 That was when The CW's Arrow Season 4 Episode 18 ""Eleven-Fifty-Nine" (directed by Rob Hardy and written by Marc Guggenheim & Keto Shimizu)[...]

The Hunting Party EP and co-showrunner Jake Coburn is one of the most humble and grateful creatives on television and it's something he picked up along the way working on some of his earliest shows, which include The CW's Gossip Girl and Arrow He also relishes any opportunity to work with the same artists on[...]

Normally, when we're covering Stephen Amell, it has to do with the "Arrowverse" or Heels or his upcoming NBC series Suits LA But back in 2023 – in the midst of SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes – Amell was making headlines for completely different reasons As the union fought to shine a spotlight on how writers[...]

We've seen a number of fundraising efforts already getting underway – and we can add Arrowverse co-mastermind Marc Guggenheim's name to that list Earlier today, Guggenheim put the word out that he was auctioning off signed Arrowverse scripts to raise funds for the Red Cross' California Wildfire Disaster Relief Fund "Applies to any episode of 'Arrow,'[...]

We've written about this before in other posts, so we will just briefly say that – although the series made the decision to remove itself from The CW's overarching live-action DC Universe – the series finale of CW's Elizabeth Tulloch, Tyler Hoechlin, Michael Bishop, Alex Garfin & Michael Cudlitz-starring Superman & Lois is really going to feel like the[...]

It began with the pilot episode of the Stephen Amell-starring Arrow on October 10, 2012, and -nearly 12 years to the day, on October 17th – it begins coming to an end with the fourth and final season of CW's Elizabeth Tulloch, Tyler Hoechlin, Michael Bishop, Alex Garfin & Michael Cudlitz-starring Superman & Lois Of course, we're[...]

Another person who has more than earned that right is one of the masterminds of the "Arrowverse," Marc Guggenheim But instead of offering a look at where the Nexstar-owned CW is heading, Guggenheim is revealing just how important the Stephen Amell-starring Arrow was to the network. Imagine the pressure that comes with launching a live-action superhero[...]

When it comes to learning a lot about what went into creating and keeping the shared universe running, "Arrowverse" co-mastermind Marc Guggenheim continues proving to be one of the best sources of intel For this go-around, Guggenheim was asked on Twitter/X earlier this week who the most difficult character was in the "Arrowverse" to cast. In[...]

Cutting across Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow and running between December 2019 and January 2020, the five-part Arrowverse mega-crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths" did the impossible It featured a ton of appearances from more than a few DC Comics-related series – including Smallville, '60s Batman, Swamp Thing, Stargirl, Titans, and[...]

While we will always think of Stephen Amell & Grant Gustin as Oliver Queen from Arrow and Barry Allen from The Flash, respectively, we can't expect them to spend their entire careers in the Arrowverse In fact, both made headlines over the past few weeks, with Amell locking down the lead role for the pilot[...]

Discovery went with Ezra Miller as Barry Allen for its The Flash feature film, even as Grant Gustin was wrapping up a nine-season run as the scarlet speedster over in The CW's Arrowverse So we weren't surprised to hear that Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) was apparently offered the role of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow despite[...]

As Stephen Amell (Arrow, Heels) continues damage control regarding the fallout from his comments at a recent convention appearance where he stated, "I do not support striking" in response to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA & WGA strikes, Arrow Writer & Executive Producer Beth Schwartz (DC's Legends of Tomorrow) has some big strike news to announce[...]

Well, if there's one thing that everyone can agree upon, it's that Stephen Amell (Arrow, Heels) is definitely having a self-inflicted "not boring" week On Tuesday, less than 24 hours after his comments regarding the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike ("I do not support striking") began burning up social media, Amell posted a lengthy statement online with[...]

And I think the thinking as it pertains to shows like the show that I'm on ['Heels'], that premiered last night, I think it's myopic." Here's a look at a video from Amell's session at Galaxycon in Raleigh, NC, offering his thoughts on strikes and how he doesn't find them to be effective negotiating tactics[...]

In the case of Arrow star Stephen Amell, we get to dip our toe back into the Arrowverse in a very personal way Taking to Twitter on Friday, Amell posted a message to a kid who he accidentally ran into at the Seattle airport while trying to grab a connecting flight In reaching out to[...]

Just when we thought there were no more "feels" left to be kicked when it came to the end of The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash and (at least for now?) the Arrowverse, leave it to Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen, Arrow) to have one more gem left to share And[...]

Why didn't John Diggle take the ring? Of course, we're talking about the scene in the Arrow series finale, "Fadeout," when Diggle finds a crashed meteorite that contains a box that emanates a green glow when opened The ten-ton implication was that Diggle was being invited to join the Green Lantern Corp At the time, Ramsey[...]
