One of the biggest shows on The CW and one of the biggest ones in the comic book television genre right now is Arrow. As you may have seen at last week’s San Diego Comic-Con, the upcoming fourth season of the adventures of the Emerald Archer is going to be a brighter and different year for the show. At the panel, it was also revealed that Oliver is going to be sporting a new awesome-looking costume, as he begins his transition from the Arrow into the Green Arrow.
Last weekend, TVOvermind was fortunate enough to participate in the Arrow Press Room with other news outlets at round tables, where stars and producers from the show discussed what is coming up in Season 4, and one of them was none other than the [Green] Arrow himself, Mr. Stephen Amell. You can catch the entire round table with Amell in the video below. Here are some of the highlights:
When asked about getting to play a brighter and comic-like version of Oliver: “It’s not moving to play a lighter Oliver Queen, it’s just getting to play with more notes than being just sad all the time. That’s cumbersome if you are an audience member, it’s cumbersome if you are playing the character, it is cumbersome, period. It’s also not as interesting as Oliver going through different phases. I think it has been important and critical to where we have ended up and I hope we get to see some different sides of him”
The theme of Season 4: “It’s too early to tell. You can always tell sort of by the mid-way point when you very much [knew] that it’s all about identity going into season 3. I don’t really know what it is yet, going into season 4. Which is a good thing actually, I think that a season that takes a minute to play out is a little bit refreshing.”
When asked where the flashbacks be taking place this season: “No comment. Where the flashbacks are taking place this year is a plot point that shall remain a secret. We haven’t filmed anything yet so we don’t have a trailer to show anybody, but I actually think it will play well to what the audience will discover in October when everyone else does.”
Arrow Season 4 begins on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 8 p.m. on The CW. Stay tuned for more roundtable videos of the cast and producers in the next few days right here at TVOvermind.
