Now that The CW has officially ordered The Flash to series, TVGuide.com can exclusively reveal that the first Arrow-Flash crossover will occur much sooner than fans might've expected: Stephen Amell, who plays Arrow's emerald archer Oliver Queen, appears in The Flash pilot!
The Arrow spin-off stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, a scientist who's gifted with the power of super-speed in the aftermath of a freak accident that transforms him into the Fastest Man Alive. Given that Barry originated on Arrow, it seems only fitting for Oliver to return the favor, but there's a twist: The Arrow isn't visiting Barry's hometown of Central City.
"In the Flash pilot, Barry comes to me," Amell tells TVGuide.com. "[It's a] little snippet in the Flash pilot where he and I share a scene together, it's in his pilot, but [filming] it felt like our show because he's coming to Starling City. That, to me, was one of the most rewarding things that I did as an actor because it was essentially the same crew that we used for our pilot, and it was two years later and it was the same director. It was like going back in time. [Flash and Arrow director] David Nutter asked me to be a part of the pilot and I will never say no to David Nutter."

Hell yeah!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited! Was hoping they would have a cross-over episode early in the season, didn't expect this early but that's great news!
ReplyDeleteAs long Barry doesn't come to Arrow, I'm fine with it. Arrow should essentially remain a superpower free zone.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
ReplyDeleteI kinda did expect a crossover in Season 1. however i did not see it comming in episode 1 already :o
ReplyDeleteGreat news for fans <3
YAY! Hope we get at least 1 crossover every season.
ReplyDeleteOh yes :D
ReplyDeleteYou mean free from stuff like the Slate army and the mirakuru? Hehe.
ReplyDeleteCan we please have Felicity in Flash for some scenes? They should give her fling with Barry some closure.
ReplyDeleteMirakuru technically isn't a superpower, per se.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise here after all from what i gather we might see a lot of guest appearances from Flash to Arrow and back.
ReplyDeleteNice, i can already see one of those superhumans of The Flash going to Starling City and Oliver seeking Barry's help....
ReplyDeleteyea its more like steroids lol
ReplyDeleteSuper strength + super healing? It's super-powered alright.
ReplyDeleteThe canary cry in the show was a mini device that emits loud sounds. So no.
ReplyDeleteVery awesome. DC is finally starting to do things right... and it happens to be on the CW. Kind of funny but hey I'm not complaining. Arrow is completely awesome and the Flash looks like it will be completely awesome too. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's actually literally a superpower. Both mirakuru and Flash's powers fall under sci-fi if you ask me albeit different forms of sci fi.
ReplyDeleteI think Laurel still has that device. She may have picked it up when she was cleaning up at the end Birds of Prey
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! And loved the full promo even more!! God!!! IS IT OCT. YET?!?!?
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be difficult maintain Arrow as a superpower free zone. If Arrow and The Flash are from the same universe, stands to reason that Arrow is going to have superpowers (or some kind of powers) in it.
ReplyDeleteBetter to book her a visit to Central City then. According to the trailer, the city is full of strange particles that turn people metahuman.
ReplyDeleteFling? They danced once and admitted they found each other hot, they're basically at seventh grade level of a relationship. Not much too give closure to.
ReplyDeletetru. but mayb we can say that mirakuru can pass for advanced tech too. seems less superpowery
ReplyDeleteThere was a girl with glasses but she was a waitress.
ReplyDeleteIt honestly think it was more than that. We never got the full story, we only know what Felicity told Oliver. But even so, I'd like her to show up in Flash.
ReplyDeleteI really doubt was more than that.
ReplyDeleteCool...
