And the gatekeepers of DC's movie universe have been keen on keeping the movie and TV universes separate. It makes sense, as using Stewart would let the filmmakers distance themselves from the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie, which was both a critical and commercial failure. One wrinkle in the mix is the persistent rumor that John Stewart is the Green Lantern that will appear in the forthcoming Justice League big screen movie. The way Reverse-Flash's backstory has been altered/updated over on The Flash proves that. So maybe it's not so wild a notion after all.Īs for how Diggle could be Stewart when their names and histories are different? Writing that's smart enough can make anything work. It turns out that Diggle has been trying to get the mysterious box he found in the Arrow series finale to open again but has been unable to. Arrow also introduced Ray Palmer, aka Atom, another character who's a superpower-driven hero. One of the more recurring rumors about where Arrow is headed is that at some point, John Diggle will become the TV version of popular Green Lantern John Stewart. John Diggle (David Ramsey) has been lurking in the shadows. Those two characters have crossed over on one another's shows several times now. Then again, that didn't stop the producers from introducing Barry Allen, aka the Flash, into the DC television universe. I would love to sink my teeth into it." He added that bringing a superpower-based hero like Green Lantern onto Arrow could be problematic, since this show has always stuck firmly to a grounded (if heightened) reality, where superpowered individuals are few and far between. If Diggle becomes John Stewart, I would be honored to be play that character. The interview then asked how he'd feel about Diggle turning into Stewart. So whatever they have planned or whatever they decide, he's onboard. What's clear is that Ramsey trusts Arrow's masterminds wholeheartedly. I haven't spoken to Geoff Johns about it yet. Greg Berlanti, Andrew and Marc Guggenheim have told me that. it is top secret." He went on to say that, "They have told me that they are thinking about it and they are considering it. "I do know that there is serious discussion about whether or not this guy becomes John Stewart," said Ramsey. What he does know is that the writers are definitely considering it. To which the interviewer, quite appropriately, replied with "Oh, come on!" But Ramsey insisted it wasn't an evasive answer, explaining that he honestly doesn't know what the plan is for Diggle. Is John Diggle John Stewart? I cannot say 'yes,' and cannot say, 'no.'" In an interview with, Ramsey is grilled about that very topic, and chooses his words very carefully when answering.
