Creating their own superhero universe. From Arrow to The Flash to Gotham Knights, The CW is known for its prolific selection of shows based on various DC comics.
The network originally kicked off its superhero content by introducing Arrow in 2012. Stephen Amell was cast in the role of Oliver Queen — who went on to become the Green Arrow.
“Stephen was one of the very first people who came in and auditioned. Usually when you go into the studio or the network, you bring multiple choices, and we didn’t do that,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg explained at a press panel ahead of the show’s debut. “Every step of the way was Stephen, Stephen, Stephen, because not just physically, but talent-wise and emotionally, he was always Oliver Queen to us.”
The Canada native recalled having to learn some unexpected skills for the role.
“I had never picked [a bow and arrow] up before, and it’s literally one of the most dangerous things that you can do on a film set,” Amell added. “The first thing for me was getting the form — I have a wonderful coach who started my training by showing me a 45-minute video of all the ways archery has been done badly in film and TV. I really like archery — I enjoy practicing it when I have time off.”
After nearly a decade as Oliver, Amell hung up his bow and arrow to star in Starz’s wrestling drama, Heels.
“I was totally hesitant. It’s not what I was looking for. I wasn’t looking for anything, frankly,” the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2021. “I hadn’t thought about what my next move was going to be after Arrow. And then they found me. They sought me out and my manager told me how great he thought the scripts were.”
