Expect To See 'Ray Palmer' Suit Up As 'The Atom'...Just Not On ARROW!
Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) recently revealed that he's seen concept art of a superhero suit for The Atom, and now executive producer Marc Guggenheim weighs in on when and where we'll see Ray Palmer take on his heroic alter-ego. Surprisingly, he says not expect to see it happen on Arrow...
If you thought that The Flash had opened the door for superpowered characters to start appearing on Arrow, think again! Based on this and other recent interviews, the plan is very much to keep The CW series set in the same grounded world it has been for the most part since day one. When Green Arrow TV asked Marc Guggenheim about whether or not we'll see Brandon Routh's Ray Palmer suit up as The Atom on Arrow, he replied: "I think anything is possible. My instinct is that if Ray Palmer’s going to shrink, he’ll probably shrink on another show. With The Flash in existence, there’s no real compelling reason for us to do super powers on Arrow. We can bring characters to Flash to have super powers. We have plans for Ray that don’t involve shrinking, but our plans for Ray are actually really cool." What's interesting about this is that it could lead to supporting characters jumping from one show to the other, though it would be a shame to restrict superpowers to just The Flash. We'll just have to wait and see. For now, be sure to sound off with your thoughts below and head on over to the site to hear more from the producer.
