Arrow star Stephen Amell has teased the show's finale, saying that it will end with "the action sequence to end all action sequences".

The Oliver Queen actor has put on the superhero suit for one last time, before the series finishes with its eight season in January next year.

Speaking to Collider, Stephen has teased the action coming up in the final episode of the show that started the Arrowverse.

"It was like, okay, it's our last kick at the can. Let's do the action sequence to end all action sequences for Arrow," he said.

"The coolest thing is that, I want to say, every stunt guy, more or less who has ever worked on the show, even guys that retired or are coordinating on Supergirl or Flash or Legends, everybody came out.

Talking about his cousin Robbie Amell's reaction, who plays Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm in The Flash, Stephen continued: "Everybody sold out in terms of what is happening. It's a sequence that, I showed it to Robbie, and he's like, 'That was incredible!'. And I'm like, 'That was the first third of it, keep watching'. It just goes."

"It's a little superfluous, a little theatrical, just in terms of the amount of people I murder," Stephen added. "It's what the fans deserved."

Meanwhile, Stephen and Robbie are set to reunite for another mutual project as the two recently signed up for a TV adaptation of Code 8.

Arrow season 8 airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW in the US. In the UK, it airs on Sky One and NOW TV.
