David Ramsey has revealed that "serious discussions" are underway as to whether his Arrow character John Diggle will become the Green Lantern.

John Diggle was created for Arrow to be the bodyguard and confidant of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), and has since been spunoff into DC Comics due to his popularity.

Ramsey recently hinted at Diggle's future in Arrow, revealing that he could become the John Stewart version of cosmic hero Green Lantern.

"Is John Diggle [really] John Stewart? I cannot say 'yes', and cannot say, 'no'," he told ComicBook. "I do know that there is serious discussion about whether or not this guy becomes John Stewart."

He went on to say: "I mean, I'll say this: it is top secret. [I have] asked them, and they're like, 'We're working on some stuff.' If that's the case, it's gonna be huge. This is the stuff they want to avoid.

"I think they don't want anybody to know yet and they haven't even told me. They have told me that they are thinking about it and they are considering it.

"[Producer] Greg Berlanti told me that. Andrew [Kreisberg] and Marc [Guggenheim] have told me that. I haven't spoken to [DC Comics executive] Geoff Johns about it, yet. But that's the word from people directly involved in Arrow - that they're working on something."

Ramsey added that he would be "honoured" to play the Green Lantern.

The Hal Jordan version of the Green Lantern has previously been played on the big screen by Ryan Reynolds, with a reboot for the franchise planned for 2020.
