The hit CW showsArrowandThe Flashare well-known for their numerous crossover episodes, but tonight, this superhero universe will be taken to a whole new level.DC’s Legends of Tomorrowepisode titledStar City 2046will add a time-travel component to these interconnecting story lines, withArrowstarStephen Amellguest-starring as an older version of Oliver Queen. Before this episode airs tonight,Stephen Amelltook to hisTwitterpage to share an up close and personal look at Oliver Queen in the year 2046, along with another photo where he’s sitting alongsideCaity Lotz.
Last week,Stephen Amellshowcased a few more photos, one of which features six Legends of Tomorrow stars, White Canary (Caity Lotz), Atom (Brandon Routh), Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill), Hawkman (Falk Hentschel), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) and Firestorm (Franz Drameh), along with the older Oliver and a mystery guest. Oliver is facing this unknown character, who is seen with a quiver of arrows strapped to his back. But we can’t quite make out who he is. The actor even teased fans by saying there are two Green Arrows in this photo, hinting this could be our first look at Connor Hawke.
It was never confirmed who is playingConnor Hawke. In the comics, he is the son of Oliver Queen. The October report claimed that this version of Connor won’t be Oliver’s son, but there was still speculation he could be, especially since the network hasn’t announced who is playing Connor Hawke quite yet. The IMDB page for tonight’s episode lists Joseph David-Jones as Connor Hawke, who appeared in last week’s episode Fail-Safe, but was only credited as “Arrow.” Since Joseph David-Jones is an African-American actor, it seems unlikely that Connor is Arrow’s son, but it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. Who knows who Oliver has had a relationship with in these converging timelines?
Last month,Marc Guggenheimrevealed that the future Oliver is missing his left arm and will be sporting a goatee, in a nod to the character’s appearance in the seminalDark Knight Returns. The photos released byStephen Amelllast week revealed that Oliver has some sort of a mechanical arm in place. What isn’t known is if this episode will have any impact onArrow, but that seems unlikely since it’s set 30 years into the future.
