Connor Hawke possibly returning to the Arrowverse

Arrow fans are anticipating the possibility of the return of Connor Hawke/JJ in Season 7. Arrow co-star Sea Shimooka first teased the potential return on Hawke.

Arrow season seven has expanded its story into some new territory and now the possibility exists of a familiar face returning. Arrow star Sea Shimooka shared an image on Instagram that showed Shimooka and Joseph David-Jones (Conner Hawke) taking a photo with fellow co-stars Colton Haynes and Andrea Sixtos.

David-Jones previously appeared in the Legends of Tomorrow episode “Star City 2046,” which saw the team travel to a futuristic Star City. In the episode, Connor was discovered to be the older version of John Diggle Jr, son of John Diggle. JJ did not start out as part of Team Arrow, but the events of Flashpoint brought him into the spotlight, leaving fans to speculate that “Star City 2046” was soon becoming Earth-1’s reality. The photo ended up being taken down by Shimooka.

Nobody has officially confirmed that Connor will be on Arrow’s seventh season, that keeps fans to speculate on what the future could hold for Connor.

Connor could be returning for more flash-forwards on Arrow, which open up a whole new can of worms.

Bringing Connor back would be great after the recent Elseworlds crossover, which took the Arrowverse and turned it inside out. It allowed us to see Barry Allen And Oliver Queen switch their roles, leaving Barry to become the Arrow and Oliver becoming the Flash.

Arrow returns on January 21st at 8/7c on The CW network. Are you excited to see the possibility of Connor Hawke returning to the Arrowverse.
