Stephen Amell Wants DC Television Shows To Cross Over

Fan favorite actor Stephen Amell was recently at the Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con where he sat in on a panel and answered questions from the crowd.  One of the questions that came up dealt with his feelings about whether or not he and Grant Gustin should or might show up in the upcoming Justice League movies.  Here's what he had to say:

"As of right now, the movie universe and the television universe are very, very separate.  I mean we've seen Ezra Miller, who's going to play The Flash in one of the upcoming films, and even on the Suicide Squad, we have a whole slew of characters that are now representing the Suicide Squad.  And the Suicide Squad is at least for the foreseeable future is not going to be featured on Arrow.  So we're keeping those universes separate."

This answer really shouldn't have surprised anyone that has read anything about the upcoming films, but he kept going:

"On the B side, there is an opportunity for interconnectivity with any DC television show that exists.  Like, as an example, yesterday Constantine was cancelled.  And there is...yeah, I know, it's brutal...it's a good show, and it should come back.  And it may come back, like there are various platforms where it could come back."

"Now, Constantine was an NBC show.  I'm on the CW.  I had had discussions with DC...so not NBC, not CW...but with DC Entertainment about guest starring on Constantine when it was still on the air.  And that was and is still on the table.  So we have Flash, we have Legends of Tomorrow, a new show which is directly connected to the Arrow universe, we have Supergirl...she got picked up, directed by my good friend Glen Winter, that pilot, I can't wait to see it, I'm sure it's going to be amazing...there's Gotham obviously, and I'm missing something...Titans, there you go.  SO again I wouldn't worry too much about the movie universe, because we have no shortage of options for me and the other characters to populate."

So what would have led to an Arrow/Constantine crossover?  He went on to explain:

"The reason that I was going to guest star on Constantine, at least the idea that we were throwing around was he's an expert when it comes to the Lazarus Pit, which is now something that is a part of and will continue to be a part of Arrow."

So could this still happen, even though NBC cancelled Constantine?  Could another network still pick it up for a second season?  Here were his thoughts on that:

"I think that all of the support that it got, Geoff Johns at DC was supporting it, Jim Lee was supporting it, I think Grant [Gustin] was throwing a little weight behind it, as he should, because that dude is a heavy weight in the DC television universe.  I don't know how it would play.  I just think that it deserves an opportunity.  I really do."

So what do you think of the idea that every DC television is/should be apart of the same universe, no matter what network is airing them?  Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
