Looks like Arrow star Stephen Amell was not very happy with how the filming of Green Arrow's first death went in CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths. This season's annual crossover between Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman was the network's biggest and most ambitious one yet. The heroes of the Arrowverse took on a multi-universal threat that sounded like it was made for an especially challenging shooting schedule. This season of the crisis had many jaw-dropping scenes, but the most popular one was the one where Green Arrow dies.

In a conversation with a leading entertainment daily, Stephen Amell discussed how difficult this death scene was to film. He said that they were trying to wrap Caity and Grant before they shot the coverage of the scene where he dies. He added they were trying to pull them so that Flash and Legends don't mess up their day the next day. Meanwhile, Green Arrow was lying on a gurney trying to deliver his lines. According to Stephen Amell, not having other actors around while filming the scene wasn't a good way of producing the best result.

It is easy to see why such an emotionally taxing scene was made all the harder in an unfamiliar environment. It is also safe to say that while Stephen Amell has enjoyed his time under the hood, he won't miss the hectic schedules that these crossovers represent. This is especially true as even with Arrow coming to an end, the Arrowverse continues to grow.
