Deadshot was one of the first villains to ever appear on “Arrow” but once the “Suicide Squad” movie started becoming a reality, the character was written out of the “Arrowverse” thanks to a massive explosion.
When it comes to the “Arrowverse” no one ever really stays dead, and there’s always the possibility that characters can return. Michael Rowe portrayed Deadshot on “Arrow” and he recently told Comicbook.com that he’s not convinced Deadshot met his end in the explosion.
“I don’t think that he died in the explosion; maybe that’s just me giving the character a lot of credit. I know that he’s notoriously hard to kill, and I have my own theories as to what happened in that situation. You didn’t see a body; they just had to remove him quickly from the show because of business and there would be a lot of fun ways to bring him back….”
So could Deadshot return? Michael Rowe says it’s always a possibility.
“Me coming back to Arrow or any of those shows is always a possibility. You’re talking about a universe where they deal with time travel, there’s all kinds of flashbacks, there’s ways to bring people back to life, there’s ways to go to alternate earths like you’ve seen on The Flash. We had fancy plans for Deadshot but it wasn’t the producers or anybody involved with the show; it went way higher than that. There was just an executive decision to slow down Deadshot on TV so they could focus on Deadshot in the Suicide Squad film. I feel like we have unfinished business with it; it’s just, will they let us get back to that?”
“Arrow” will return on Thursday, October 12.
