Smallville Revival: Justin Hartley Open to Green Arrow Return
18 Mar
Summary
- Justin Hartley expressed openness to reprising his role as Green Arrow.
- He cited personal growth and different life experiences as reasons to return.
- The DCTV series Smallville concluded its 10-season run over a decade ago.
More than a decade after its 10-season run concluded, there is renewed hope for a Smallville revival, especially following comments from actor Justin Hartley. Hartley, who portrayed Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, recently expressed his willingness to return to the role.
Hartley indicated that his current life experiences would allow him to approach the character differently, suggesting a "different story" with a potentially updated costume. This sentiment comes as the superhero landscape has significantly evolved since Smallville's initial broadcast.
While Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum have previously attempted to pitch an animated sequel, their efforts have reportedly stalled. However, the enduring popularity of Smallville and the cast's openness to revisiting their characters suggest a revival, whether a TV series or movie, remains a possibility.
