David Ramsey responds to criticism of Diggle’s Arrow costume

September 28, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Originally published September 28, 2015. Updated November 8, 2019.

After three years of fans campaigning for John Diggle to get a costume in Arrow, The CW is finally set to deliver when the fourth season of the DC superhero series gets underway next month, although it’s fair to say that the resulting suit (pictured above) met with a mixed reaction when it was unveiled earlier this month. And by mixed reaction, I mean ridicule…

Speaking to TV Guide Magazine (via Green Arrow TV), actor David Ramsey has been speaking about the suit, and in particular the helmet and its comparisons to Magneto:

“I like it. I know there’s a lot of criticism that it looks like the Magneto helmet. But by the time you see Diggle in action – we also get into what the helmet can do – you won’t be thinking of the X-Men at all. There is a very cool gun too. The gun and the helmet, by the way, are S.T.A.R. Labs creations.”

After defeating his most formidable foe to date and riding off into the sunset with longtime flame Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen left Starling City with the hopes of beginning a new life. But will Oliver ever truly be able to leave behind his past as the Arrow, and, if so, what becomes of the team he has worked so hard to assemble? Will Diggle, Thea, and Laurel be left to continue Oliver’s crusade without him? And with Malcolm Merlyn having ascended to the top of the League of Assassins as the new Ra’s al Ghul, is anyone really safe?

Arrow returns to The CW for its fourth season on October 7th.
