Before the new season began it was announced that Arrow’s “John Diggle,” David Ramsey, would be directing several shows across the Arrowverse in addition to making guest appearances on them. Now, thanks to an interview in issue #337 of SFX Magazine (now hitting newsstands), we may have an idea of when he will be showing up, thanks to Executive Producer/Showrunner Todd Helbing himself.
“Diggle comes into our show halfway through the season,” Helbing told interviewer Bryan Cairns. “Where you last saw him, there are many different things that could have happened to him, but we will explain exactly what did.”
It the Arrow series finale, it looked to us like there was a Green Lantern ring that John had found… was that how his story ended, or might Superman & Lois reveal that’s not the case? We’ll see when David Ramsey shows up on Superman & Lois sometime after the show’s return on May 18. (It can also be noted that David Ramsey directed the series’ seventh episode which, by all calculations, should air May 25.)
It will be interesting to note that even though Superman & Lois is part of the Arrowverse on Earth-Prime (we still refuse to say CWverse), we haven’t seen many elements from the other series on this show just yet. It could be possible that John Diggle is the first connection of this sort to appear on the Super-show, opening the door for future crossover appearances in the future. Also, do note that this interview was likely conducted before the show’s premiere, and plans and schedules are always subject to change.
