The dialog in the “Arrow” intro has become iconic for fans of the series, and people who tune in regularly have heard the words “my name is Oliver Queen” many times. With each new season the intro is updated, and fans are patiently waiting for the season 6 premiere so they can hear the new intro.
During a panel at Heroes & Villains Fan Fest in New York this weekend “Arrow” star Stephen Amell was asked about the new intro for season 6, and he remained tight lipped because he told fans that the new intro is a huge spoiler.
“Everyone always asks me if I will do the Arrow intro.” Amell revealed via Comicbook. “And I have to tell you, I can’t do it this year for a very specific reason. Because me doing the Arrow intro is probably the biggest spoiler that I can possibly drop about the show. Sorry. I would get in so much trouble.”
“Arrow” season 5 ended on a huge cliffhanger as Lian Yu exploded with everyone except Oliver Queen and his son William on the island. So far it’s been confirmed that Slade Wilson and Dinah Drake both survived, but the fates of the rest of the cast remain a mystery.
It sounds like the intro may contain the answers to a few of the questions fans have been asking since the finale. We’ll find out in a few weeks.
“Arrow” will return on Thursday, October 12.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice.
As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
