The Arrow star Stephen Amell reportedly teased Green Arrow’s possible return by posting a reel from his Instagram account. The clip revealed a pencil sketch of a hooded archer attached to a wall with a question:

"Have you seen this man?"

Then the camera moved to Stephen who was sitting in a cafe with his hand resting on his head. He gave a look of someone fully aware of the chain of incidents he had just set in motion. The audio that played in the background of the clip is Blake Neely's Setting Up the Lair (the Arrow's main theme).

Stephen Amell sparked buzz over possible Green Arrow revival

Stephen Amell had reportedly teased Green Arrow by posting a hooded archer sketch from his Instagram account with a caption:

"Just when I think I’m out…"

According to Cosmic Book News, the video was posted a day after Zack Snyder marked Batman Day with Batfleck, while insiders said for months that Zack's version of The Dark Knight Returns was already prepared.

The reel gained 116.5K reactions and 2.1K comments so far. One fan dared James Gunn, while another one mentioned a new season return. Another one commented that people were waiting for Season 9 and Season 10.

Someone else noted it was their sign to rewatch Green Arrow and called it a memorable time. One remark connected the Arrowverse and the Snyderverse, and stated that Darkseid, the villain in Zack's Justice League, had failed the city.


Is Zack Snyder's rumored adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns true?

In Frank Miller's 1986 book, Oliver Queen appeared as an older man with one arm and anger toward the government. During the final battle, he pulled the bowstring with his teeth by using a kryptonite arrow to knock Superman down and make Batman the winner.

Zack had already adapted that idea once. In Batman vs. Superman, the kryptonite spear took the place of the arrow. A faithful version of The Dark Knight Returns would return that moment to Green Arrow.

According to Variety, Zack said that he would produce The Dark Knight Returns outside of the DC Universe. He described it as a novel that happened to feature superheroes. His story included Oliver Queen, shown in Frank Miller's version as an old man. At that time, Stephen was 45, and the reel depicted an older Oliver Queen.
