Arrow has been one of DC Comics’ most successful television adaptations, going on strong with its third season. John Diggle has long been a fan-favorite character and even though he’s a great part of the action, he is not really in hero-form and that doesn’t get him the credit he deserves. Things mightchange though, as he might just be more of a hero than we originally thought.
Fans have long speculated that Oliver Queen’s companion could end up being John Stewart, commonly known as the Green Lantern. Even though this has only been a fan theory up to now, that’s no more. During a recent interview, David Ramsey who plays Diggle on Arrow confirmed that it’s a matter of discussion. In his own words:
Now, John Stewart… Is John Diggle John Stewart? I cannot say “yes,” and cannot say, “no.”
I do know that there is serious discussion about whether or not this guy becomes John Stewart. But, I mean, I’ll say this: it is top secret. David Ramsey has asked them, and they’re like, “we’re working on some stuff.” If that’s the case, it’s gonna be huge. This is the stuff they want to avoid. I think they don’t want anybody to know yet and they haven’t even told me. They have told me that they are thinking about it and they are considering it. Greg Berlanti told me that. Andrew and Marc have told me that. I haven’t spoken to Geoff Johns about it, yet. But that’s the word from people directly involved in Arrow- that they’re working on something.
Here’s the truth of it: if I knew, I would tell you I knew and I’m not at liberty to tell you that. I probably wouldn’t tell you anyway! I would at least tell you that I know. But I honestly do not know.
The actor would love to play Green Lantern for sure, as long as the character takes him there. He doesn’t know how his presence could be combined withArrow, but that’s something to figure out – we assume he would be gone from the show.
