Stephen Amell Confirmed to Appear as a Future Version of Arrow in 'Legends of Tomorrow'
While producers have spoken about Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow crossover potential, that potential is limited to the extent to which they take advantage of Legends' time traveling logistics.
It's now been announced, however, that Arrow star Stephen Amell will appear in the sixth episode of Legends of Tomorrow's debut season as Oliver Queen, as a future version known well to comic book fans.
The show will, according to EW, jump forward to 2046, where we will meet the older Oliver Queen, as well as Connor Hawke (who while in the TV show has not been revealed as such, is Oliver's son in the comics). It's been revealed that Oliver will be sporting a familiar appearance to fans of the comic book iteration.
Producer Marc Guggenheim elaborated: "We're not only introducing our version of Connor Hawke to our universe, we're going to meet 2046 version of Oliver Queen, and Stephen Amell is going to be reprising his role from Arrow. As an added bonus to comic-book fans, Oliver is missing his left arm and will be sporting a goatee, in a nod to the character's appearance in the seminal Dark Knight Returns. We think this episode features some of the coolest things we've ever done."
Stephen Amell's confirmation was much sorter: "The Goatee Cometh..." appeared on Thursday.
