The upcoming series finale of Arrow will feature a statue of Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, in the middle of Star City. Some folks in Vancouver want the Stephen Amell statue to find a permanent home in their city as well. A fan named Ryan Sullivan started a petition on Change.org to have a Green Arrow statue erected in Vancouver’s Crab Park following the series finale. In just over two days, nearly 7,500 people have signed it.
Sullivan’s petition asks Warner Bros. Television to move the statue that was used in the fictional Star City to a permanent location in Vancouver to honor what the show has meant to the city over the years. Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim took notice of the petition and expressed his great appreciation, but also noted that the statue that was built for the show was only meant for a two day shoot, so it likely wouldn’t be able to withstand the Vancouver weather.
In order to get over this hurdle, Sullivan has also started a fundraiser on GoFundMe to help pay for a new, more permanent statue to go up in Crab Park.
“I would like to try and raise money to get the city of Vancouver to build and forever immortalize a Iron Statue Replica of the Green Arrow from the show that started the entire birth of The Arrowverse,” Sullivan wrote on the campaign page.
