It Sounds Like We're Definitely Going To See A Certain GREEN LANTERN Ring In ARROW
Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim is still denying plans to introduce Hal Jordan in season four of Arrow, but he has dropped a very interesting hint about a major nod to the hero that we'll see in the premiere's flashback scenes. Hit the jump for details...
With mentions of a missing test pilot, Ferris Air, and Oliver Queen boarding a ship to Coast City, all the signs appeared to point to Hal Jordan showing up in the fourth season of Arrow. While executive producer Marc Guggenheim continues to deny that it will happen, he now appears to have confirmed that Green Lantern is going to show up in some form in the series. "There is a nod or two," he admitted in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. "There is a billboard that people will get a kick out of, and there may or may not be a ring in the season premiere."
No, it could be that Guggenheim is talking about the kind of ring which will make "Olicity" official (the horror...), but it sounds like it will more likely be tied into Green Lantern. With the recent sizzle reel making it clear that Oliver is going to start off his vigilante activities in Coast City, it's not too hard to imagine him bumping into Hal at some point depending on the kind of missions he embarks on (especially with A.R.G.U.S. and Amanda Waller involved). There's a chance that they're taking a slow burn approach with Hal, but it's clear that Green Lantern is going to have a presence of some sort on season four of Arrow. Do you think the future Corps member will make an appearance?
