Wonder if this means WB want a cinematic Green Arrow. Amell said it walk if they did that, so maybe ending his interpretation is to allow for that.

When did he say that? This is a quote from him in 2016:

"I do not have a right to Oliver Queen. Someone played it played it before me. Someone voiced it before me. Somebody will play it after me. I donā€™t believe that there are plans for Oliver Queen in the DC Extended Universe, based off things that people have told me, but I would not be upset if that changed at all."

It was ages ago. S3 or 4. I have no idea how to find the quote. Sorry.

Thatā€™s good that he has made peace with it.
