If there is one major "Arrow" TV series spoiler you will let go, what would it be?
For some comic book geeks, it is alright for them if they will be informed that David Ramsey's John Diggle could potentially become the Green Lantern. Because when this happens, it only means the CW Network show is getting bigger, meaning there is a possibility that members of the Justice League will be coming.
Over the past months, with some major DC comics superheroes coming into the shows, fans start theorizing that the bodyguard and sidekick of the Emerald Archer (Stephen Amell) is John Stewart, an architect and US Marine veteran that eventually became the Green Lantern.
It is not hard to blame the fans. Aside from the fact that the show is welcoming some supernatural powers, like The Flash, there many striking similarities between John Diggle and John Stewart. They are both African-American, have strong moral and served the US government.
It is also worth noting that "Arrow" is known for tweaking the origins of many DC Comics characters. However, fans are still left disappointed because no "Arrow" season 3 spoilers or reports are talking about Diggle becoming the Green Lantern.
So what's the best solution to this thirst of information? Ask Ramsey himself. In an interview with Comicbook.com, the "Arrow" season 3 mainstay said he cannot say if John Diggle is indeed John Stewart. He asked the writers about it and the answer he got is that "we're working on some stuff."
"Is John Diggle John Stewart? I cannot say "yes," and I cannot say, "no." I'm serious! I do know that there is serious discussion about whether or not this guy becomes John Stewart. But, I mean, I'll say this: it is top secret. I've asked them - David Ramsey has asked them - and they're like, "we're working on some stuff," he explained
Ramsey said that executive producers are maybe just being discreet since "Arrow" season 3 is still ongoing.
"This is the stuff they want to avoid. I think they don't want anybody to know yet and they haven't even told me. But they have told me that they are thinking about it and that they are considering it. But they're not going to release anything yet. That's exactly what the told me. Greg Berlanti told me that. Andrew [Kreisberg] and Marc [Guggenheim] have told me that. I haven't spoken to Geoff Johns about it. But that's the word from people directly involved in Arrow- that they're working on something," he explained.
Can Diggle become the Green Lantern? Well, maybe not in "Arrow" season 3. Still, if ever that happens, it only means Oliver Queen and his crew are going to a bigger world.
