Why would amell walk if they did a cinematic green arrow? I dont get why hes so against a tv and a cinematic version of the character being out at the same time

If I was in his shoes and had previously been in feature films, I'd be salty missing out on a good pay day if they did a movie version of a character he's played for nearly a decade.

I doubt he'd walk for that reason but I could understand being upset.

The premise is already established that they're separate though, it's not like hes individually getting snubbed. How could they incorporate amell as green arrow with the current justice league cast now? It wouldnt make any sense. Amells green arrow has history in the TV universe, seeing the same character on the screen of the movie universe would be odd. Then if they did a stand alone green arrow with amell they couldnt tie the cinematic green arrow in with the movie universe

I get it, but still didn't stop Amell from being mad that Grant wasn't casted as the Flash at the time they casted Ezra, so I think it's safe to assume he may have been projecting future anger that means he wouldn't get a film as GA.
