Over the weekend, Arrow's Stephen Amell appeared at Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con and was asked whether he and Grant Gustin may be included in the forthcoming Justice League movies.
The actor replied: "As of right now, the movie universe and the television universe are very, very separate. I mean we've seen Ezra Miller, who's going to play The Flash in one of the upcoming films, and even on the Suicide Squad, we have a whole slew of characters that are now representing the Suicide Squad. And the Suicide Squad is at least for the foreseeable future not going to be featured on Arrow. So we're keeping those universes separate."
Despite the answer that may disappoint but come at no surprise to fans, he did go on to say something that excited those in attendance - that crossovers for any of the DC television shows is possible, even those on different networks.
He explained: "On the B side, there is an opportunity for interconnectivity with any DC television show that exists. Like, as an example, yesterday Constantine was cancelled. And there is... yeah, I know, it's brutal... it's a good show, and it should come back. And it may come back, like there are various platforms where it could come back."
Amell continued: "Now, Constantine was an NBC show. I'm on The CW. I had had discussions with DC... so not NBC, not CW... but with DC Entertainment about guest starring on Constantine when it was still on the air. And that was and is still on the table.
"So we have Flash, we have Legends of Tomorrow, a new show which is directly connected to the Arrow universe, we have Supergirl... she got picked up, directed by my good friend Glen Winter, that pilot, I can't wait to see it, I'm sure it's going to be amazing...
"There's Gotham obviously, and I'm missing something... Titans, there you go. So again I wouldn't worry too much about the movie universe, because we have no shortage of options for me and other characters to populate."
Going on to explain the reason behind his possible Constantine guest role, he said: "The reason that I was going to guest star on Constantine, at least the idea that we were throwing around was he's an expert when it comes to the Lazarus Pit, which is now something that is a part of and will continue to be a part of Arrow."
