So, the future of DC movies is about to undergo a serious change, with James Gunn in new leadership and a new direction that should, in theory, allow for new characters and heroes to get the spotlight. And there’s one hero that I think desperately needs a movie. Something to really understand the character and show the world just how important he can be. The Emerald Archer himself, Green Arrow. So how could Green Arrow fit into this new universe, and what could a solo Oliver Queen movie look like?

With great power, there must also come great responsibility:

    Hope they fully embrace the goofiness of Green Arrow. The CW tried so hard to make him the Green Batman, even way back when Smallville was adapting him on screen.
  • @cyynical3299
    For the record, Boyega rocked a beard for “Red, White and Blue” when he played Leroy Logan. And he looked good. But, I think there is value in having Oliver Queen be played by a white actor. The whole “Being a part of and benefiting from a broken system” thing that is vital for his character works best with someone who looks like someone who is benefiting from that system.
  • James Gunn has stated that he's a big Green Arrow fan, even going as Green Arrow once for Halloween when he was a kid. I have faith that James Gunn will bring Green Arrow into the new DCU (perhaps later in Chapter 1 or the beginning of Chapter 2). I also hope that we get Black Canary given some respect and justice even though I really liked Jurnee Smollett as Black Canary in Birds of Prey and hope we see her reprise her character in the DCU, and if not then I'm sure there are other good choices for Dinah in the DCU
  • @l8studios_
    You’re probably gonna mention this but Black Canary need to be done justice Arrow did her so dirty and Green Arrow never appeared in the DCEU while the one decent Black Canary did Edit: Definitely make a prewrite please Id love that
  • @The_Phantasm
    After almost a decade of misrepresentation in outside media (looking at you Arrowverse), I am beyond excited at the prospect of having a proper Green Arrow. Just please don't screw up Green Arrow and Black Canary's relationship again.
  • @moosevelt9148
    I feel like something that would work is to have Green Arrow be established, not starting out, and just have him be an urban Robin Hood, fighting crimes against the poor by the powerful. Also, rather than having Canary fulfill the obligatory romantic love interest by the end, why not have their relationship be tested? A major part of their relationship has been Oliver's stubborness playing off Dinah's pointedness, and seeing that instead of the more typical "two protagonist heroes fall in love," I think, would be more interesting. The 9th circle would be an excellent choice for the antagonists. Or, maybe drug trafficking by pharma corps would work too, referencing the "Speedy is a junkie" story. Great vid!
  • If you include Onomatopoeia as a part of your Green Arrow prewrite, I'll 110% watch it.
  • @okayspectre
    The Ryan Johnson director choice is perfect and it would be funny how mad people are gonna be about that. Also you should definitely make more Green Arrow content
  • @Url_Seth
    Something I love about CW’s Arrow is the killing rule, for Batman he never kills it could never be the same if he did, whereas Oliver did kill, he didn’t care he had a mission, but then he realised he can be doing that, that people can’t change if he kills them and everyone else will have the same fate, and seeing Oliver restrain himself being tempted and tried to kill makes it better for me, fight back addiction
  • @KamisSummit
    Nobody wants to show respect for green arrow because he's not as known. But, when he's actually put in action, HE'S AMAZING. I wanted to see green arrow in live action after watching JLU. The show didn't deliver because he was just a darker batman. I need green arrow to written well. GUNN PLEASE PUT RESPECT ON OLIVERS NAME
  • I would love to see a Green Arrow pitch video. He’s one of my favorite characters in comics and you always do a phenomenal job with your pitches
  • @FiestaTX17
    Honestly, I need a green arrow like the the one we see in injustice, specifically injustice 2. Give me the comedic king and charismatic man he was there, his relationship with canary was perfect too.
  • @birthgravy
    People should keep in mind that James Gunn said during the announcement that everything he announced wasn't the entire chapter, there are still other unannounced projects and I firmly believe we'll see Green Arrow come into the mix.
  • Brad Pitt as Oliver Queen, I need that casting I'm not kidding. I honestly wanna see David Leitch as Director but Rian Johnson is pretty good too
  • @suto5704
    I'm really interested in seeing Dinah and Roy in the new DCU. I just hope they don't forget about the family around Oliver like you said Troy.
  • I'm hoping we get a healthy relationship between Oliver and Dinah, where they are happily married, or at least engaged, she's a therapist who works with metahuman children, while also primarily helping the members of the Justice League, Teen Titans and other heroes.
  • Something I’d like to see in a Green Arrow movie, or at least the first one, would be him losing his wealth. Him ultimately losing his money was what originally pushed him into the socially conscious, aggressively left-wing hero we know him as, and Hard Travelling Heroes expands on that. So I’d like to see that on screen and for them to show how that pushes Oliver further down the “look out for the little guy” mentality
  • @s-wo8781
    I also really want to see Zatanna and Deadman in the new DCU. I really like those two characters from JLU and Justice League Dark.
