One of the longest running fan-rumors on The CW’s Arrow is that John Diggle is actually John Stewart. John Stewart if some of you don’t know is actually the third Green Lantern after Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner. Now ComicBook.com actually caught up with Diggle himself David Ramsey to ask him point blank. Unfortunately, he is in the dark just as much as the rest of us:
“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 – David Ramsey has 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 the 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’t tell you anyway, but I would at least tell you that I know. I honestly do not know.”
