Stephen Amell thinks 'Arrow' fans will be "super-pissed" at Oliver Queen in the season 7 premiere.

'Arrow' is rolling towards its seventh season and its 150th episode, and the show has never been more chaotic and thrilling. With Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) now behind bars, after telling Star City that he was the Green Arrow, his team and friends feel a little lost in limbo, but will be forced to remain together and continue fighting against the criminal activity going on around them.

Stephen Amell is sad to see Willa Holland leave 'Arrow', but "respects" her decision to move on.

'Arrow' fans were hit with some big news this week, as it was revealed Willa Holland would be leaving the series - and her role of Thea Queen - behind for good. The character was one created for television, bringing a family dynamic to the Green Arrow hero that hadn't been seen on the pages of his comic books. For the most part however, it was one that truly worked and served to bring all new layers and elements to one of The CW's most successful shows.

Away from the multiverse, or 'Arrowverse' as it has been christened, 'Black Lightning' has been able to cement itself as a force to be reckoned with in its own right. Cress Williams does a brilliant job of bringing the titular crime fighter, aka Jefferson Pierce to life, and the cast are all incredibly compelling in their performances.

Stephen Amell, who plays DC superhero Green Arrow, has hinted at a return for Colin Donnell to The CW series 'Arrow'.

'Arrow' is one of the most popular shows The CW has ever seen, and for good reason. For almost six full seasons to-date, the series has told the story of Oliver Queen, aka DC Comics superhero Green Arrow, and how the character has evolved both as a person and a crimefighter throughout the years. Stephen Amell is the man to bring the hero to life, and has done a brilliant job of working his way into the hearts of viewers across the globe.

Still going strong, 'Arrow' has of course seen some jaw-dropping moments throughout its time, and one of those came right in the first season, when fan-favourite character Tommy Merlyn, played by Colin Donnell, was killed off as a result of actions by his villainous father Malcolm (John Barrowman).

The show won't be seeing an addition from the Dark Knight any time soon.

Kicking off one of the most successful superhero universes the small screen has ever seen, The CW's 'Arrow' is a show that has really gone through the motions. Whether it's at its highest high or dealing with being trashed by viewers, it's survived each and every turn and looks to continue on into the distant future.

Stephen Amell leads the series in the titular role of Oliver Queen, also known as the vigilante crime fighter, the Green Arrow. Working alongside a close-knit team, he's helped introduce the 'Arrowverse' to a series of other heroes such as The Flash and Black Canary, but his journey isn't one that's been without tragedy. People have died and made huge sacrifices along the way, and that's something that sticks with Oliver.

The actor thinks he has the most screen time out of all the heroes involved.

One of the biggest parts of the Arrowverse that fans most look forward to each year is the annual crossover event, which sees the leading stars from 'Arrow', 'Supergirl', 'The Flash' and 'Legends of Tomorrow' come together, usually to save the world in some capacity. That looks set to continue this year, in a narrative subtitled 'Crisis on Earth-X' and the promise of more characters from the Arrowverse featuring than ever before.

Having slipped into the criminal underworld, serving only himself and hoping to further his power whenever possible, Anatoly is now a corrupted man with a heavy cross to bear. Exactly how Oliver will deal with his return remains to be seen, but it's going to be very interesting to see how their past relationship plays into the upcoming scenes in season 6.

Stephen Amell

The actor only wants a small role in the long-running CW series.

Stephen Amell is somebody who's willing to put his neck out and campaign for motions and events in the television shows he loves and is a part of, in a way that would usually be left to each show's certain fan base. Showing his passion for the DC TV universe whilst leading 'Arrow' in the role of Oliver Queen, he has in the past gone on record saying he has hopes that his show could crossover with fellow CW network series, 'Supernatural'.

Stephen Amell is a firm favourite at San Diego Comic Con

Heading into its 13th season, 'Supernatural' has followed the journey of the Winchester brothers Dean and Sam, played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki respectively. Going through its ups and downs, the series shows no signs of slowing down despite first making its debut in 2005. So, could the show potentially crossover with 'Arrow' in the future?
