Willa Holland Calls Out WB for shutting down Arrow’s Suicide Squad plans (Date: 30 May 2016)
“Arrow” star Willa Holland believes the DC Cinematic Universe could learn a lesson from Marvel. During an interview with The Mirror, she expressed her frustration with the disconnect between DC’s films and television series, why the Suicide Squad was axed from the show and more.
“We were about season two when they started telling us we had to start basically killing off the Suicide Squad that we were starting to build on our own,” Holland recalled. “We were actually trying to build that on our own on the show, and I guess once DC found out they were going to be doing their own movie of it, we had to ax all of the characters before we even got to show them, which was a little annoying at first.”
