Tears flew high as the cast of Arrow thanked Stephen Amell during their last San Diego Comic-Con panel. An epic sizzle reel for season 8 released.

Arrow, the show which launched an entire universe of superhero shows and paved the way for a future generation of superhero shows that are currently on TV is coming to an end with its eighth and final season. And as expected, fans and cast alike can’t help themselves but get emotional about it.

Arrow hosted its final San Diego Comic-Con panel yesterday with the cast that included leading man Stephen Amell, David Ramsay, Katie Cassidy, Juliana Harkavy, and Rick Gonzalez.

Brandon Routh who started out as The Atom in Arrow and is set to play Superman in “Crisis on Infinite Earths” also flew in as a surprise guest.

Routh came in prepared as he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the red “S” logo of Superman to our delights. But the man of the hour was obviously the true king of the Arrowverse, Stephen Amell himself. The crowd cheered in unison for the man who started it all. Stephen was having a hard time holding back tears as his costars took turns to honor the man themselves.

David Ramsay said, “There would not be any superhero universe on TV — not just DC Universe, any superhero universe, after Smallville without Stephen Amell.” We feel you, David.

Katie Cassidy who is making her directorial debut with episode 3 of season 8 said, “This show doesn’t exist without him.” Harkavy also got teary-eyed and added, “I’m so proud of him and so impressed with him.” She further went on to call Stephen, a true leader, truer words have never been spoken.

Stephen Amell described his day as a mixture of a victory lap and a sad farewell.

I’ve never felt anything like what #SDCC just gave to me. If all I got from the past 8 years was those 45 minutes… I’d do it all again. — Stephen Amell (@StephenAmell) July 20, 2019

The cast made some key revelations and teased us with the fact that both Diggle and Laurel will be getting a new suit for the final season, alongside Oliver’s new suit which has been revealed by Entertainment Weekly in their cover shoot. It was also revealed that Burt Ward, Dick Grayson from 1966’s Batman, will also be making a guest appearance in “Crisis.” Both Josh Segarra and Colin Donell will be playing a mysterious new character this season. Katherine McNamara, Ben Lewis, and Joseph-David Jones have all been promoted to series regular as well.

When asked about his role in “Crisis,” Stephen also revealed that he will be playing multiple characters in the crossover. He also talked about the new season saying that this season is very different from the previous seasons, each episode is like a movie in its own and is all very cinematic. He called this season a homage to the entire series. He also made it very clear that Arrow won’t end with the crossover and the end will be a thing of its own.

Arrow also released an emotional sizzle reel which consists of some of the most glorious and epic moments from the past seasons and also gave us some crazy new footage to get us excited for the end of this wild ride.

We are not ready for the new season. Are you ready to say goodbye? The final season of Arrow premieres Oct. 15 on The CW.
