Depictions
Amell plays the Queen in January 2012, and is the first actor auditioned for the role, with Kreisberg saying that Amell "reaches the target from scratch" and "others are just pale when compared." Producer Marc Guggenheim stated that the creative team wanted to "map their own direction, [their] destiny," and avoid direct connections to Smallville , featuring Green Arrow/Oliver Queen himself (Justin Hartley) choose to portray a new actor in the role. It was also the first script that Amell auditioned during the trial season, after receiving several scripts at the beginning of the year. For Amell, the appeal of the Queen is that he sees several roles attached to the same character: "There is the usual Queen of playboys: the Queen of the wounded heroine, the Reflecting Queen of Sorrow, the Queen of the Beloved, the Queen of the Action Men, etc." The actor, which is already in the form of Rent-a-Goalie , conducts physical fitness training at Tempest Freerunning Academy from Reseda, California.

Character development
Characterization
In the first season, Oliver is not afraid to kill criminals when he considers it necessary. The pilot episode director David Nutter believes that, after his time on the island, Oliver returns to Starling City with Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and this contributes to his desire to kill. Amell stated, "Killing people will start to weigh Oliver, he can not finish his own mission." He has to lean on someone. " Amell describes Oliver as having to fend for himself in the first season. Similar to identifying Oliver as having PTSD, Amell sees characters as "broken individuals" who are "time bombs"; Oliver not only did good things, but fell along the way. For Amell, the character of a damaged character would burden him throughout the first season, as he had to hide his new self from his family, and disguise himself as the "old bastard".
Relationships
Oliver has some romantic relationships during the series. Before being stranded on the island, Oliver dating Laurel Lance and rekindling this relationship at the end of season one. He also had an affair with his sister Sara, who was on a cruise ship with her when it was sabotaged. It then develops into a full relationship with him after he is revealed to have survived, and returned to Starling City in the second season. In the third season, he confessed to Felicity Smoak that he fell in love with her, and both entered a relationship at the end of the season. They are then engaged, though the engagement and the relationship ends in the episode "Taken". The pair began to revive their relationship towards the end of season five, which continued into the premier six season. During 2017 Crossover arrows, the couple were married.
During the third season, Katie Cassidy states that she sees Laurel and Oliver as a soulmate who know each other better than anyone else. According to Cassidy, Laurel continues to try to see the best in Oliver, even when she plays the side of her playboy. Cassidy believes that when Laurel learns that Oliver is "Arrow", it strengthens his love, because it proves that he is the man he thinks. Laurel sees Oliver as a love in her life, something she tells him on her deathbed. However, Stephen Amell has stated that while he believes Oliver will always take care of Laurel, that love comes from "a different part of his life", and that is the Felicity he loves now. This is supported by Emily Bett Rickards, who believes Oliver and Felicity are soul mates. At the start of season six, Amell stated, regarding the couple's reconciliation, that "They have so much history together that it's just a matter of when is the right time?". Show-runner/Executive Producer Wendy Mericle describes the emotional journey that Oliver experienced during the Crossover Crossover 2017 (where he and Felicity married), as one where he "explores the question of true love".
Oliver also has connections with other characters on the show. Amell sees the relationship between Oliver and his mother, returning from the island, because it is almost hostile. For her, the Queen's family had many skeletons in their closets, which helped them collect their wealth, and her return was a threat to the way of life. Oliver's relationship with his sister Thea changed once he came back from the island as well. Amell notes that Thea looks up to Oliver before he disappears, but Oliver is immature and asshole. When he returned, Thea had taken over the role and Oliver had to admit that his behavior before hampered his ability to get through Thea in the first season.
Following the five-season final event, season six also sees Oliver trying to build a relationship with his son, William, who mourns for the loss of his mother.
Costume
The realistic approach to this series includes the costume design for Oliver's persona made by Colleen Atwood. According to Amell, it is important that the lawsuit works, and the best way he knows for it is if he can wear his own costume: "If I can wear it myself, I think people will buy. And that is our idea, that's our world." fourth, Oliver got a new costume. Designed by Maya Mani at the end of the third season, the original costume has a full sleeve. After getting input from producers Greg Berlanti and Amell, Mani redesigned the costumes to show off the biceps of the characters, and more to reflect comic book colleagues. According to Mani, "I want it to be tactical, so that the shoulder is a little harder [...] I also want him to remove the layer or be in the layer and still be the Arrow but not have the full picture."
In the second half of the second season, Oliver replaced a "painted" mask with a domino mask given to him by Barry, similar to that worn by characters in comics. The change is aimed at the screen, with Kreisberg saying, "She's not only wearing masks.This is actually a big plot point in an episode, and there's really a story behind, not just the need for a mask but also that provides him with it." When adding a mask now, Kreisberg states that, "Conceptually, it is something we want to do because Oliver himself evolved as an Arrow - from vigilante to a hero, sort of Arrow to Green Arrow - and we want to see that developments in his costume as well "As Oliver embraces hero, being a hero means stepping out of the darkness and becoming more of a symbol, so he has to take steps to hide his identity more." He added that it would "allow Arrows to interact with people who are not knew his identity in a much more organic way than kept him on the mend kkan his head. "
Maya Mani costume designer collects about 50 mask choices for producers. Various designs remind the creative team of something that Joel Schumacher will create. Kreisberg said, "What's remarkable about Maya's design is that it's so simple, and it feels as though it's been part of his costume from the beginning... after we finally got this mask and put it on Stephen [Amell], even Stephen such as, 'It's true. ' "In the season of two episodes of" Three Ghosts ", Oliver received a mask from Barry, who was able to create a mask that would help conceal his identity, while still functioning and allow Oliver to see with clear.
