Is Arrow’s John Diggle Green Lantern’s John Stewart?
John Diggle, bodyguard and friend to Arrow, portrayed by actor David Ramsey might be hiding a secret! A fan theory that John Diggle is actually John Stewart, an incarnation of the Green Lantern seems to be gaining traction and now after being approached directly about the matter by Comicbook.com, Ramsey has opened up a bit about the possibility:
“Is John Diggle John Stewart? I cannot say “yes,” and I cannot say, “no.” I’m serious! I do know that there is serious discussion about whether or not this guy becomes John Stewart. But, I mean, I’ll say this: it is top secret. I’ve asked them and they’re like, “we’re working on some stuff.” If that’s the case, it’s gonna be huge. This is the stuff they want to avoid.
I think they don’t want anybody to know yet and they
haven’t even told me. But they have told me that they are thinking about it and that they are considering it. But they’re not going to release anything yet. That’s exactly what they told me. Greg Berlanti told me that. Andrew [Kreisberg] and Marc [Guggenheim] have told me that. I haven’t spoken to Geoff Johns about it. But that’s the word from people directly involved in Arrow- that they’re working on something.
“Here’s the truth of it: if I knew, I would tell you I know the answer to that, but I’m not at liberty to tell you that. I would answer like that. I probably wouldn’t tell you anyway, but I would at least tell you that I know. I honestly do not know.”
If this all works out, then it seems that the Justice League is building up on our TV screens, Arrow, Black Canary, Flash, Supergirl, Atom and now a Green Lantern? This is getting very interesting! We’ll keep you posted if there are any developments!
