‘Arrow’ season 2: Behind the scenes with Stephen Amell

Let’s hope that you still have not had enough of the behind-the-scenes photos featuring the “Arrow” cast going into season 2. Following the image that we shared recently of Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), we also now have one of Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen that will be certain to make you either smile or pass out with excitement.

This image was posted on the show’s official Twitter page, and it is of that “promoting the promotional photos” variety. This shoot was conducted fairly recently, and the official images should be released in the months ahead as the show tries to space out all of its news over the course of a very long summer. Thanks to The CW’s decision to hold onto new episodes until October (thus shortening the amount of time needed for a hiatus), it means that we will be waiting longer for “Arrow” to return than most other series.

As for what we can expect from Oliver Queen when the series returns, he will feel an even greater sense of purpose and responsibility to Starling City now that he has lost one of his lifelong friends in Tommy. He has to decide whether or not it is too risky to have a relationship with Laurel (Katie Cassidy) at this point, and he also has to figure out what to do with a kid in Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) who has become obsessed with his every move ever since having his life saved.

What do you think about this photo? As always, we want to hear your thoughts below, and we also have some new scoop on Oliver potentially sleeping with someone new in the early episodes of this coming season. Excited? You really should be.
