Ever since the beginning of “Arrow” fans have been dying to see Stephen Amell rock the Oliver Queen goatee but it hasn’t happened yet. The key word is “yet.” Executive producer Marc Guggenheim recently revealed some details about Oliver Queen’s appearance on “Legends of Tomorrow” and he confirmed that Oliver will indeed have a goatee when the team meets him in the year 2046.
“Every once and a while, we do an episode where the 10-year-old me has to pinch himself. We’re not only introducing our version of Connor Hawke to our universe, we’re going to meet the 2046 version of Oliver Queen, and Stephen Amell is going to be reprising his role from Arrow. As an added bonus to comic-book fans, Oliver is missing his left arm and will be sporting a goatee, in a nod to the character’s appearance in the seminal Dark Knight Returns. We think this episode features some of the coolest things we’ve ever done.” Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly.
Amell has said in the past that we wouldn’t be seeing Oliver Queen sport a goatee on “Arrow.”
100% no. Never. Our show could go 14 seasons and a goatee will never appear. Hope that clears things up. Forever. https://t.co/pudAfBIhsD

So we haven’t yet and might not be seeing the goatee on “Arrow” but we know we’ll be seeing it on “Legends of Tomorrow” and that’s still pretty cool.
“Arrow” airs Wednesdays at 8pm EST on the CW and DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” airs on Thursdays at 8pm EST.
