Stephen Amell's Arrow will appear in The Flash pilot episode

Fans have known for quite some time that the CW would bring The Flash to the screen this fall alongside its successful superhero series Arrow. And it looks like the established hero will be guiding the fledgling one in the first episode of his new series.

Stephen Amell, who plays the titular green-clad hero on Arrow, told TV Guide that he will appear in the pilot episode of The Flash in October.

"In the Flash pilot, Barry comes to me," he said. "[It's a] little snippet in the Flash pilot where he and I share a scene together, it's in his pilot, but [filming] it felt like our show because he's coming to Starling City. That, to me, was one of the most rewarding things that I did as an actor because it was essentially the same crew that we used for our pilot, and it was two years later and it was the same director. It was like going back in time. [Flash and Arrow director] David Nutter asked me to be a part of the pilot and I will never say no to David Nutter."

This initial appearance could indicate more crossovers between the two shows in the future, and Amell is all for that.

"We'd be insane if we didn't do crossover stuff. I don't know that it has to be an event or big moments, but the shows share a universe, and not utilizing that fact would be insane. I'm sure that we will at some point."
