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.
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.
@@KarlKristofferJohnsson most characters don't need to be any specific skin color, there are very few where it acyually matters but i agree that this one is one of them
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
Honestly how comic book movies are now.. I’m sure he’ll be a side character in a DCU film so we know he exist. Similar to how they added all the characters in Black Adam. I hope they do this in all the new films. The DCEU failed at it with Themyscira, they could’ve added a few female heroes that were familiar. Just like how Man of steel should’ve had supergirl and Martian Manhunter somewhere in that film. But after seeing JL Synder Cut & the trailers for The Flash.. I have hope that Warner Bro’s will continue to have a few hero’s and possibly villains per film.
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
I actually really liked Jurnee Smollett as Black Canary and its a shame we didn't see more of her, and that her Black Canary show might not happen. I think she did great in the role with a lot of potential. I hope they find a way to bring her into the DCU, but if not her then Im sure there are other choices to play Dinah
@@brohiddlesby7010 Me too. She was one of my favourite parts of Birds of Prey and I really hope she gets another chance to play the character in the DCU. She has so much potential and has a love for the character of Dinah Lance. If she doesn't return though I may be upset but I will have to accept it
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!
I'd also like to see Oliver's friendship with Hal on screen as well because we've never seen that dynamic before in any form of media other than comics (not counting the shitty tomorrow verse movie)
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
People who say he’s a bad director are usually the people who just watch Star Wars and whatever is popular that doesn’t require you to think too much and nothing else.. Knives Out movies and Looper absolutely slap
@@firstlast9846 eh I still think he was a horrible choice to direct the middle movie in a trilogy. He's known for subverting expectations and that doesn't really work if he's not the one with the main vision
Now here me out, what if onomatopoeia had weapons and gadgets from the heroes he killed. Like a grappling hook, boomerang, and maybe even a set of trackers that Batman has used.
@@fullmetal2455I’d save Vertigo for either a Canary movie or a team up movie because Onomatopoeia is not just a serial killer, he’s a twisted and mysterious mind who hunts non-powered superheroes for fun? For revenge? For sport? I think there’s a lot of angles you can take with him and I’d like to see how his gimmick would appear on screen without word bubbles.
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
@@s-wo8781 funny how most people don't realise that the court and the cops can but refuse to do anything about it he brings them to justice to face the law the law is what fails to do anything about it
@@s-wo8781 Its not Batman's responsibility to viscously assault criminals, torture them and break more privacy violations than Facebook, but that has never stopped him.
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.
The issue was more that people focused on his personality so that arrow could focus on his skills being underrated and they both produced a fractured character
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
The show didn't deliver? lol 8 seasons of a show watched globally all over the world. That show along with the arrowverse did way better than the flop DCEU
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.
I never knew much about Green Arrow, but once I researched him, I saw the Iron Man comparisons and realized that he could be the next grounded, human superhero story. I’d love (for lack of better terms) a modern remake of/tribute to Iron Man (not that DC could ever call it that lol). Also, yes please for a prewrite!!! More prewrite content in general please, you’re such a great writer and they’re my favorite videos of yours!
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
That would be awesome specially if the ehe villain of the film end up being Count Vertigo, since he is also rich and part royalty and his conflict with Green Arrow could bring Oliver story full circle: He started as arrogant spoil billionaire, he ended as heroic figure protecting the people he once ignored, from corrupt wealthy criminals.
The one thing that I hope they don't do is tease Black Canary as part of a post-credit scene or something. These characters are at their best when they're working together, and that's something we should get in the first movie.
Green Arrow is like one of the coolest super-heroes ever. I love this character so much. He has so much potential in the big screen. He deserves a faithful big budget live-action film made with love, animated movie, animated series and a video game. I would love to see a Prewrite video on a Green Arrow movie soon. I love these kind of videos 😊
Green Arrow has always been my favorite DC character. And I'm sure Gunn will definitely give him a shot in the new DCU. Steel is a character I've always wanted to seen done justice on the big screen *we don't talk about that other one*
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.
No one is a bigger Green Arrow fan than my uncle. Thousands of painstakingly organized, labled, read and analyzed Green Arrow comics. And he’ll give you a full explanation of any book you pick and even the memories he has with the book. The guy is dying for a film.
7:30 I don’t know if John Boyega would be a good fit. Before I say this, I want to be clear that I don’t really care race swapped casting in general. However, you yourself explained how Green Arrow is about Oliver learning that he benefitted from the system that hurts so many people and turning it around. I just feel like that story would fall a little flat if it wasn’t played by a white guy. Sure, money and power often lessen the troubles people experience based on their race; to quite a high degree I might add. However, the oppressive nature of the system js still present no matter how influential they are. So, having a black man play Oliver means that he would already know about the system and what it does, he and his people are effected by it, despite his wealth and power. A rich, cis, straight passing, white man doesn’t get fucked by society, hence why Oliver has to learn not only why the system sucks, but that it does in the first place.
I've said it before, but I really hope the new DCU goes about structuring their universe with a pre-established structure. Obviously there's things like Star Wars or Harry Potter that've done that, but something like the latest John Wick was a great example of how you can introduce new characters who are treated as though they've always been around and have long histories with other characters. Heck a big part of conversation following that film's release was regarding how many spinoffs they could do about the characters introduced in that film alone because of how interesting they were. I really hope we get that with this new DCU, you could have a movie about one hero that maybe features one or two others in supporting roles. I think that in skipping their origins and having them in supporting roles it allows those characters to be more defined and lived-in, a show don't tell situation regarding their beliefs and heroism since they'll have less screen time to sell it. I really feel like Green Arrow fits that role well, I mean that's basically how he was handled in JLU, I'd love to see him play off another hero first before getting his own film. I also just think that's a smart decision for DC right now, win people over with likeable characters and create demand for them to get their own films or other projects, because let's face it there's plenty of great DC characters who are unknown to general audiences. On the one hand it would allow certain characters a greater spotlight, but even if they don't get a spinoff their mere existence in a supporting role would do a lot to build out that sense of a wider universe.
For me, the best way to introduce Green Arrow in the DC Universe franchise in the first chapter is by developing a Green Arrow live-action film based on the "Longbow Hunters" storyline from the late 1980s, alongside other characters who can appear in the film like Black Canary (Dinah Lance), Roy Harper, Wildcat (Ted Grant) and Shado.
Ryan Johnsan directing a Green Arrow movie starring John Boyega that is a political romcom? YES YES YES YES YES!!! Never considered either, but I totally see it
If you like mike Grell's work on long bow hunters, I would suggest getting the green arrow, long bow hunters saga omnibus vol.1 and vol. 2. Mike wrote 80 issues after the miniseries and it's all collected in those two. They are expensive books, but they are hard covers and in the oversized format and the best way to find all of his work on green arrow
Green Arrow is literally my favorite superhero of all time. In large part because of the CW's Arrow series which I watched as a kid and introduced me to the character. Honestly, I love the Take on Oliver Queen that Stephen Amell and CW took, but I think James Gunn could bring an even better adaptation to the screen. I am unbelievably excited!!!
The conservative DC fans were mad when George Lopez said “Batman’s a fascist” in the Blue Beetle trailer. So they’re gonna be PISSED when they hear what Green Arrow has to say lmao, another amazing video troy! I really think WB should just take up your offer and let you direct a green arrow movie for free Lmao I’d be there opening night without a doubt
I think CW’S Arrow is incredible. It’s not a one for one character adaptation but as the show goes on he became much more like his comic counterpart. Way better than many Green Arrow comic book fans say.
Yeah I’d love to see a Green Arrow movie someday. And yeah I can picture John Boyega as Oliver Queen, he’s an underrated actor who didn’t get a lot of love as Finn and I think he’d be great in a DC movie. Now for other DC movies I’d love to see one day would be Red Hood & The Outlaws, Static Shock, a proper Green Lantern movie, and a movie adaptation of the Earth 2 comic story line and Dark Knights Metal storyline.
I like the inclusion of an actor who can portray the character both on, and off screen. Like when Andrew Garfield went around New York in his Spider-man costume to play basketball with some kids. That's pure Spider-man right there. Now imagine at the next big protest that shocks the country, we see the literal Green Arrow fighting with us for our freedoms. I think that's something we need more of right now. The world needs more heroes. And please do a pre-write of a Green Arrow film. I'm excited to see the ideas you bring to the table.
Casting for Green Arrow is so tricky. My ideal actor would be Dev Patel, but I can’t help but think about how much of Ollie’s whiteness informs his disconnect from his wealth and privilege before he makes that change. Curious what you think!
I see that argument a lot and I get that perspective, I just don't think I've ever read a story where Ollie's whiteness is specifically focused on as a source of his privilege. It of course is, and if a movie were to tell that story I would be really interested in it and be all in, but I think that the class privilege is told about more. And there could be something interesting where the Queens think that they're above the flaws in the system from their wealth, but still become victims to it, and that could sort of kickstart Ollie's journey more. Again, I totally get the argument (more than any other character tbh) but imo it's not the most 100% necessary thing on the planet and would rather they find someone who could rock the post-change Ollie mindset. Whether that's Boyega or someone else, it's all cool with me as long as it's not Charlie fucking Hunnam lol
@@troyoboyo17 totally agree that it doesn’t have to play a big part at all. As long as it isn’t Hunnam, I think the actual fans should be happy in Gunn’s hands!
Admittedly, the only exposure I’ve had to Green Arrow is Injustice 2 and the first two volumes of the Kevin Smith run, but even from those fragments, I’m interested in seeing a DCU interpretation of Green Arrow (or yours, Troyo).
I didn't realize how much I needed a Green Arrow/Black Canary rom-com until just now. And personally, I always thought Charlie Hunnam would be better as John Constantine.
Personally I want to eventually see firestorm. And aztek. Along with dial H for hero. But honestly I'd doubt we'd see any of them. Green arrow is good. But I'm more into dc animation than live action anyway. Good video 💯
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.
Don't even have to watch the whole video (but trust me I will), and I whole heartedly agree! I for one would love a Green Arrow Year One adaptation, and I still really want Charlie Hunnam to play the Emerald Archer
We seem to have pretty similar taste in superheroes. While I'm not sure I would choose those three as my absolute top 3, they are definitely in my top 5 (along with She-Hulk and Cyclops).
Green Arrow like Batman having no powers my favorite line from any version of Oliver is in justice league unlimited when he says “ Batman told me to make sure you guys stay in line” or something regarding those lines when Superman wants to attack Cadmus for having a weapon to stop the league, with both of them not having any powers he and Bruce are MORE able to connect with the people of earth and be see how some people see them as a “threat” so having Green Arrow in the type of role to also keep the league in check is how Oliver should always be
You spelt "thrust" wrong at the 10:00 minute mark... But I would LOVE a Green Arrow prewrite. I'm unfamiliar with his character excluding Arrow (which is basically just Batman) and JLU so that would be a great way to learn more about him. I loved him so much in JLU and so if that was as accurate to the comics as I keep hearing, I would love a prewrite.
Ah fuck I knew there was something up but for some reason Final Cut just was sooo slow on this one and I had a lot harder time fixing those little things. Thanks for catching it tho.
1) Thank you for the attention to my favorite superhero! I’ve been hoping for a Green Arrow movie for decades, and I’m glad James Gunn is in charge now because the chances of it are HIGH. 2) I watched Poker Face and loved it.
My problem if you put Ryan Johnson as the director is that he isn’t a fan of the source material. When it comes to movies, he’s the type of creator, who would just want to do his own thing. For an outside property that is very exciting, but I don’t want him to screw up Green Arrow for his vision of the story. Also if you wanna cast John Boyega, I don’t know if the two are on the best terms.
I feel like in terms of casting, that green arrow should remain white. Having him be the straightest, cisest, whitest rich boy possible plays into the themes of him recognizing his privilege.
After watching peacemaker I hope that if there is a new green arrow that they mention anything about this quote, "green arrow goes to brony conventions dressed as the backhalf of twilight sparkle"
I really believe that Green Arrow is in Gunn's unrevealed part Gods and Monsters. I really love the first 2 seasons of the CW show. He is my friend's the most favorite super hero.

I think that in skipping their origins and having them in supporting roles it allows those characters to be more defined and lived-in, a show don't tell situation regarding their beliefs and heroism since they'll have less screen time to sell it. I really feel like Green Arrow fits that role well, I mean that's basically how he was handled in JLU, I'd love to see him play off another hero first before getting his own film.
I also just think that's a smart decision for DC right now, win people over with likeable characters and create demand for them to get their own films or other projects, because let's face it there's plenty of great DC characters who are unknown to general audiences. On the one hand it would allow certain characters a greater spotlight, but even if they don't get a spinoff their mere existence in a supporting role would do a lot to build out that sense of a wider universe.
All I'd want is a Jay and Silent Bob cameo in a Green Arrow movie. Wishful thinking but I'd also love to see Kevin Smith co-write or co-produce it.
For me, the best way to introduce Green Arrow in the DC Universe franchise in the first chapter is by developing a Green Arrow live-action film based on the "Longbow Hunters" storyline from the late 1980s, alongside other characters who can appear in the film like Black Canary (Dinah Lance), Roy Harper, Wildcat (Ted Grant) and Shado.
Mr troyoboyo, from the bottom of my heart, more prewrites would be the only thing I want for Christmas.
Ryan Johnsan directing a Green Arrow movie starring John Boyega that is a political romcom? YES YES YES YES YES!!! Never considered either, but I totally see it
If you like mike Grell's work on long bow hunters, I would suggest getting the green arrow, long bow hunters saga omnibus vol.1 and vol. 2.
Mike wrote 80 issues after the miniseries and it's all collected in those two.
They are expensive books, but they are hard covers and in the oversized format and the best way to find all of his work on green arrow
Would LOVE a Green Arrow pitch
2:25 Ok but "Arrow-plane" is genius
please do the full pre-write
If the new green arrow comic book doesn’t do well I will go into my room and scream into to a pillow until my voice is gone
Green Arrow is literally my favorite superhero of all time. In large part because of the CW's Arrow series which I watched as a kid and introduced me to the character. Honestly, I love the Take on Oliver Queen that Stephen Amell and CW took, but I think James Gunn could bring an even better adaptation to the screen. I am unbelievably excited!!!
As soon as you were describing the traits you wanted in an actor I knew it would be John Boyega. I love that fancast
L fan cast, Green Arrow is a blonde white guy.
@@MelkMan7 cope
@@samhartje723 cope with what you idiot? All you NPCs comment the same thing.
Oliver is a white guy that grew up rich, thats like making Bruce Wayne black doesn’t work and should and will fail
@@MelkMan7 not important to the character and we've had 3 live action barry allens with black hair, cope.
Sounds kind of like how Marvel should use Iron Fist
You should do a movie pitch for Green Arrow like you did for the new Spider Man trilogy and The Flash.
I can't wait for this new universe bro I'm so hyped
Kevin Smith's is my personal favorite run on the character.
The conservative DC fans were mad when George Lopez said “Batman’s a fascist” in the Blue Beetle trailer. So they’re gonna be PISSED when they hear what Green Arrow has to say lmao, another amazing video troy! I really think WB should just take up your offer and let you direct a green arrow movie for free Lmao I’d be there opening night without a doubt
Oh god I completely forgot about the Blue Beetle overreaction lol yeah that’ll be really fun
Bro I was thinking that 😂😂😂 they’re gonna shit on this movie unfortunately
I’d be down for a pre write I loved your Spider-Man trilogy
Cant wait fot when Oliver says its Arrowing time and then Arrows all over the place
a good green arrow movie has Oliver Queen being an explicit bottom to Black Canary... it won't work otherwise
This time, they've got to do Black Cannary justice, especially after what Arrow did to her
Please do a pre-write of a Green Arrow movie. I love your unique takes on possible movies that such a rich & effective story!
James Gunn's Dcu needs green arrow? No, I NEED green arrow.
I want a Green Arrow movie with Wildcat also starring in it, getting his own movie later on.
John Boyega as Green Arrow could actually be insane!!!
Not a good choice. Effects the character greatly
Do the prewrite. Do it BOY!
I think CW’S Arrow is incredible. It’s not a one for one character adaptation but as the show goes on he became much more like his comic counterpart. Way better than many Green Arrow comic book fans say.
Yeah I’d love to see a Green Arrow movie someday. And yeah I can picture John Boyega as Oliver Queen, he’s an underrated actor who didn’t get a lot of love as Finn and I think he’d be great in a DC movie. Now for other DC movies I’d love to see one day would be Red Hood & The Outlaws, Static Shock, a proper Green Lantern movie, and a movie adaptation of the Earth 2 comic story line and Dark Knights Metal storyline.
I like the inclusion of an actor who can portray the character both on, and off screen. Like when Andrew Garfield went around New York in his Spider-man costume to play basketball with some kids. That's pure Spider-man right there.
Now imagine at the next big protest that shocks the country, we see the literal Green Arrow fighting with us for our freedoms. I think that's something we need more of right now. The world needs more heroes.
And please do a pre-write of a Green Arrow film. I'm excited to see the ideas you bring to the table.
Green Arrow pre-write would be awesome
A Ryan Johnson Green Arrow movie would be so amazing. The way he dunks on the ultra wealthy would be perfect. 😅
This video was amazing. I'd love more Green Arrow content. And, yes, I'd love a prewrite for the Green Arrow.
Great video as usual, would love to see an in-depth Prewrite.
Love how crazy onemotapeia is and he'd be awesome in a movie.
Also I love the romcom idea would be hilarious if they really ham it up in the trailers
Casting for Green Arrow is so tricky. My ideal actor would be Dev Patel, but I can’t help but think about how much of Ollie’s whiteness informs his disconnect from his wealth and privilege before he makes that change. Curious what you think!
I see that argument a lot and I get that perspective, I just don't think I've ever read a story where Ollie's whiteness is specifically focused on as a source of his privilege. It of course is, and if a movie were to tell that story I would be really interested in it and be all in, but I think that the class privilege is told about more. And there could be something interesting where the Queens think that they're above the flaws in the system from their wealth, but still become victims to it, and that could sort of kickstart Ollie's journey more.
Again, I totally get the argument (more than any other character tbh) but imo it's not the most 100% necessary thing on the planet and would rather they find someone who could rock the post-change Ollie mindset. Whether that's Boyega or someone else, it's all cool with me as long as it's not Charlie fucking Hunnam lol
@@troyoboyo17 totally agree that it doesn’t have to play a big part at all. As long as it isn’t Hunnam, I think the actual fans should be happy in Gunn’s hands!
@@troyoboyo17 mine should stay stephen amell i think he is a really good fit for this role he was just the victim of bad writing
Matt Barr?
@@troyoboyo17troyo please make a static shock pitch
Get that paycheck. But boy that ad read was rough lmao
i love the john boyega fan casting
Admittedly, the only exposure I’ve had to Green Arrow is Injustice 2 and the first two volumes of the Kevin Smith run, but even from those fragments, I’m interested in seeing a DCU interpretation of Green Arrow (or yours, Troyo).
As soon as you mentioned directors that hate billionaires and could write it, i thought Arian Johnson
I didn't realize how much I needed a Green Arrow/Black Canary rom-com until just now.
And personally, I always thought Charlie Hunnam would be better as John Constantine.
i had never really thought of green arrow casting because he seems so difficult to capture but i could absolutely see your pick
Charlie Hunnam as Green Arrow is the same as John Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic lol
I'd say it's worse imo
Nice video, and I like what you did with the background 🙂👍🏹
Personally I want to eventually see firestorm. And aztek. Along with dial H for hero. But honestly I'd doubt we'd see any of them. Green arrow is good. But I'm more into dc animation than live action anyway. Good video 💯
John Boyega as Connor Hawke?!?!👀
Imma need that prewrite chief
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.
He might even be in the lanterns show if we're lucky
Don't even have to watch the whole video (but trust me I will), and I whole heartedly agree! I for one would love a Green Arrow Year One adaptation, and I still really want Charlie Hunnam to play the Emerald Archer
"You have failed this city" boi I want my arrows who can't keep a secret identity. Please 🙏🙏
We seem to have pretty similar taste in superheroes. While I'm not sure I would choose those three as my absolute top 3, they are definitely in my top 5 (along with She-Hulk and Cyclops).
Green Arrow like Batman having no powers my favorite line from any version of Oliver is in justice league unlimited when he says “ Batman told me to make sure you guys stay in line” or something regarding those lines when Superman wants to attack Cadmus for having a weapon to stop the league, with both of them not having any powers he and Bruce are MORE able to connect with the people of earth and be see how some people see them as a “threat” so having Green Arrow in the type of role to also keep the league in check is how Oliver should always be
John boyega is my fancast for bronze tiger
Ohhhh shoot, a Rian Johnson Green Arrow flick actually makes so much sense. Gonna be thinking about that for a bit
I would LOVE to hear your pitches on DC projects
I need Charlie hunnam as Oliver queen, AND yes I want your prewrite version of the script.
John Boyega in They Cloned Tyrone, had a similar purpose yet a different vibe, but i mean...there's the beard
You spelt "thrust" wrong at the 10:00 minute mark... But I would LOVE a Green Arrow prewrite. I'm unfamiliar with his character excluding Arrow (which is basically just Batman) and JLU so that would be a great way to learn more about him. I loved him so much in JLU and so if that was as accurate to the comics as I keep hearing, I would love a prewrite.
Ah fuck I knew there was something up but for some reason Final Cut just was sooo slow on this one and I had a lot harder time fixing those little things. Thanks for catching it tho.
1) Thank you for the attention to my favorite superhero! I’ve been hoping for a Green Arrow movie for decades, and I’m glad James Gunn is in charge now because the chances of it are HIGH.
2) I watched Poker Face and loved it.
I would love to see a prewrite of this movie!!
My problem if you put Ryan Johnson as the director is that he isn’t a fan of the source material. When it comes to movies, he’s the type of creator, who would just want to do his own thing. For an outside property that is very exciting, but I don’t want him to screw up Green Arrow for his vision of the story. Also if you wanna cast John Boyega, I don’t know if the two are on the best terms.
I feel like in terms of casting, that green arrow should remain white. Having him be the straightest, cisest, whitest rich boy possible plays into the themes of him recognizing his privilege.
After watching peacemaker I hope that if there is a new green arrow that they mention anything about this quote, "green arrow goes to brony conventions dressed as the backhalf of twilight sparkle"
As soon as you suggest Rian Johnson I instinctively shouted out FUCK YES. he'd be great.
God, how are you so good at making me love characters I never gave a second look??
This video alone makes me wanna obsess over Green Arrow
y tf is this so underrated what, needs way more views
id like a green arrow prewrite
I really believe that Green Arrow is in Gunn's unrevealed part Gods and Monsters. I really love the first 2 seasons of the CW show. He is my friend's the most favorite super hero.
I would love a pre write
Honestly as long as it’s 100% comic book camp,than it would probably be amazing.
Yet another reason why the DCAU is peak.
Since he mentioned that JLU was one of his main references, Green Arrow could finally be represented in a live action production
