Stephen Amell's cameo in the ninth episode of The Flash season 9 has left fans on a magical high. His character, Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, has been a favorite ever since he led the CW superhero series Arrow from 2012 to 2020 with aplomb. He returned as Oliver for The Flash season 9 episode, titled It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To.

The plot centered around Barry Allen/The Flash's birthday party, which gets gate-crashed by the antagonist Bloodwork. As the villain carries out his evil ploy threatening all reality, Oliver enters as The Spectre, resulting in an iconic team-up between him and Allen.

Before It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To aired, the Canadian actor tweeted a confirmation post that he would be "guest starring" on the episode, leaving fans of his headlined series and The Flash excited.

To recall, Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen/Green Arrow/Arrow had already appeared in 10 episodes of the current DC superhero show from 2014 to 2019. The Flash is in its ninth season, which is also its last.

Directed by Danielle Panabaker and written by Sam Chalsen & Emily Palizzi, It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To hit the network on April 26, 2023. Earlier this month, TVLine dropped a trailer hinting at Stephen Amell's return as Oliver in this particular episode.

The new offering featured the now-professional wrestler in his full Spectre mode, where he fought alongside John Diggle and others to combat Bloodwork's (Sendhil Ramamurthy) ominous plans. As soon as the episode was released, fans were left in awe by Stephen Amell's stunning cameo.

While some who probably didn't watch the episode expressed their sincere intention to catch it soon only for the actor, there were several who gushed about how spectacular he was in the episode.
