Revealed images show that Green Arrow will be returning in the upcoming episode entitled “Star City 2046”.

Upon their arrival in the city, they immediately encounter a man whom they believe to be the Arrow they know in the present, Oliver Queen. “Legends” – and by extension “Arrow” – took a bit of a different approach to the character.
In perhaps the ultimate tragedy for Oliver, he was the sole member of his team to survive the uprising in Star City.
Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) backs up from Atom (Brandon Routh) in this still from tonight’s all new DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
“Star City 2046” presented a possible future where Oliver’s quest to save his city was a failure.
The real payoff here is when the Green Arrow takes them down into the old Arrow lair which is where he’s hidden a lot of the Smoak technology. An important part of the Waverider was damaged in the emergency landing, and the team must find a way to retrieve a replacement while navigating crime-infested Star City. Sara goes to one corner, and discovers something we don’t see, and Rip manages to find the big-science-McGuffin, just as Deathstroke’s forces break in. The whole situation has Rip certainly frustrated and that’s without him knowing that Mick has basically taken over one of the local gangs and is seriously enjoying his position in all of this.
By the end of the episode, Grant Wilson (Deathstroke’s son) is killed, and it would seem that the two Green Arrows of Star City 2046 will work as a team to clean up their metropolis.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Marc Guggenheim has shared the thinking behind the change, stating that: “We know on Arrow that Oliver already has a son, William, who is not Connor Hawke”. When Deathstroke Jr. arrives with his goons to recruit the gang into finding and killing Green Arrow for him, Leonard convinces Mick to at least come with him first so they can save their friends before they have a nice, totally zen chat about whether they should stay.
Sara and Hunter butt heads yet again when they get back to the Waverider, where she attempts to make him see her side of the debate of saving Connor and the future of Star City, by comparing it to his mission to save his own wife and child, even further into the future than where they are now. Ciara Renée is starting to get more comfortable with the character, and hopefully now that Kendra has firmly established a no-romance stance, the show will start exploring her character outside of her connection to men.
