'Arrow' Season 4 Spoilers: What We Know So Far About The Next Chapter [VIDEO]
Although it's barely been a few weeks since the finale of season 3 of Arrow aired, information about the show's next chapter has already been trickling through. Enstars brings fans up to date with all that is known about season 4 so far.
Some cast members and the show's creator Marc Guggenheim have been dishing about what's coming up in the CW series. Stephen Amell, who plays Oliver Queen, recently stymied fans' hopes of the green hooded superhero's revival in the next season. "Arrow's done, no more Arrow suit, I have worn it for the last time," he said in an interview. In most interviews the actor has stated that other than a few minor things he has no clue about what's going to happen going forward.
Now coming to Oliver and Felicity's (Emily Bett Rickards) relationship, even though the couple drove into the sunset in the finale, it's not going to be smooth sailing from there.
Rickards, who plays Felicity weighed in on the future of the duo in an interview with TVGuide, where the actress suggested that it won't be a fairytale romance going forward, and that both of them will not be able to easily shed their past as vigilantes.
"What I think is so interesting is that once you help people and have served justice for so long, is that it might become an addiction to a certain extent," she said. "It's one thing to go and be happy and sit on an island, but you want to still be doing important work. So I don't know what that's going to be for them. They're going to have a balance of that and hopefully in their relationship as well."
But while Felicity might have more than made up with Oliver, it seems like it's going to be a while before Diggle (David Ramsey) comes around.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Guggenheim stated that although Oliver supposedly reconciled with Felicity and Diggle in the finale of season 3, there will be some residual friction between Oliver and Diggle. The executive producer said that the fact that Oliver had chosen to trust Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrownman) over Diggle and Felicity, and kept them "in the dark" will still linger on.
"The ramifications of those decisions are going to reverberate into season 4," Guggenheim said. "This is not a situation that can be easily wrapped up with an exchange of I'm sorrys. This is something our characters will be dealing with well into season 4."
Guggenheim has also revealed that the next chapter will take a "lighter tone."
Coming to the supporting cast of the series. Willa Holland recently hinted at the fact that her character Thea might be getting a new costume, or something of a makeover with a spot of yellow. Ramsey has also suggested that Diggle might be wearing a mask in the next chapter.
The announcement of Arrow's renewal for a fourth season was made earlier this month.
The finale of season 3, entitled 'My Name is Oliver Queen,' of Arrow aired on May 13 on The CW.
