Arrow star David Ramsey promised the series finale will please fans who believe his character John Diggle could be Green Lantern.
Asked if the series finale will address the show's many Green Lantern teases, Ramsey told TVLine, "Without a doubt. You are absolutely going to get your answers. And well-deserved answers. We’ve been talking about this for years, and I think everyone by series’ end will be very happy."
Over the course of the series, the Arrowverse has consistently teased Diggle as a potential Green Lantern. For one, the Season 7 episode "Spartan" introduced Diggle's step-father General Roy Stewart, which means he could have been John Stewart -- just like the Green Lantern of the same name. In "Elseworlds," last year's crossover, Earth-90's Flash mistook Diggle for a Green Lantern and asked him why he wasn't wearing his "ring." Plus, there are other factors -- like Diggle's military history and longstanding friendship with Green Arrow -- that mirror Green Lantern as he appeared in the comics.
Ramsey's comments here are far from a confirmation that he will be revealed as a Green Lantern by the series' end, but he did promise that the show will at least address the clues that have already been established. Considering there's a Green Lantern series headed to HBO Max, perhaps Ramsey could find his next adventure there.
Arrow stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Rick Gonzalez as Wild Dog, Juliana Harkavy as Black Canary, Katie Cassidy as Black Siren, Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak, Joseph David-Jones as Connor Hawke and Ben Lewis as William Clayton-Queen. Arrow’s final episode will air Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
