In a live Facebook video conducted on Thursday night, “Arrow” star Stephen Amell spoke about the “Smallville” connection in The CW’s upcoming “Elseworlds” crossover that he says will be a “treat” for fans of the TV series.
While there has been some speculation that Tom Welling or Michael Rosenbaum might make an appearance, Amell has confirmed that that won’t be happening, and while we know that the Kent Farm scenes were filmed on the same location as that used for the “Smallville” TV series, there’s more to look forward to.
While he wasn’t a fan of “Smallville”, never having watched the series while he was growing up, Amell said there’s a moment of the crossover that “made me jump out of my seat.”
Additionally he adds, “If you’re a fan of ‘Smallville’, you might want to put down rubber sheets or something like that because, quite frankly, you might piss your pants”.
Let the speculation begin…
The special 3-night “Elseworlds” crossover event will begin in “The Flash” on Sunday, December 9 at 8.00pm ET, and then continue in “Arrow” on Monday, December 10 at 8.00pm ET, and will conclude with “Supergirl” on Tuesday, December 11 at 8.00pm ET.
I know a lot of people kept hoping for Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling being part of it, but I’m wondering about another person that people are forgetting. Since they’re going to be at the Kent farm, I wondered if maybe they possibly got Annette O’Toole to play Martha Kent again. I don’t know if she’d necessarily appear (though it would be awesome if she did), but maybe there would be photos of her at the farm. I also wonder if when they were considering having Lois Lane in their planning of the crossover if they had hoped to involve… Read more »
That’s a very good theory. And what if John Snyder shows up as Jonathan Kent as well. That would be so cool. To see my favorite Martha and Jonathan Kent back on the Kent farm. I’m so looking forward to seeing this. I can’t wait!
I was thinking a photo of the Kents from Smallville would be cool. Maybe they have Clark’s telescope from the show… next to a picture of Lana? 🙂
Lionel Luthors fabulous hair grafts itself onto a new host..Diggle!
Kidding aside, not sure what a surprise of that magnitude could be but I think it’s interesting that it’s something even a person whose never watched the show would recognize as significant.
My guess is that is Smallville Lois Lane, Erica Durant. If John Wesley Shipp is reprising his 90s Flash role, despite the fact that he has played a couple different characters on The Flash already, then it stands to reason that Erica, who has played Kara’s mother on Supergirl, would be willing to step into Lois’ shoes again for the crossover.
So… what’s John Schneider up to these days, anyway?
I was no fan of Smallville for a ton of reasons, but I’m a lot more depressed by the fact the people I watch on TV are of the age that were “growing up” with that show. Oh my god, my silver temples tremble at the thought.
I don’t know if that would be enough to shock Smallville fans to the degree he’s talking about.
Maybe Ollie meets Ollie?
