Willa Holland MCM London Comic Con: 'Arrow' Star Lashes Out At DCEU 'Suicide Squad' And Grant Gustin 'The Flash' Recasting

The DC Extended Universe is definitely setting itself apart from TV, and there is no one more annoyed about it than "Arrow" star Willa Holland. The young actress has just spoken up about how DCEU killed "Arrow" plans for Suicide Squad characters in the show and declared that Grant Gustin should play Barry Allen in "The Flash" movie!

Willa Holland Attacks DCEU For Ruining "Arrow" Suicide Squad Plans

Willa Holland recently attended the MCM London Comic Con, where she casually discussed how DCEU squashed "Arrow" plans for the show's Suicide Squad story arc. The CW series has already introduced Suicide Squad characters like Amanda Waller, Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot and Harley Quinn, but they were all unceremoniously written off "Arrow" to make way for the upcoming "Suicide Squad" film.

"When DC found out they were going to be doing their own movie we had to axe all of the characters before we even got to show them," Willa Holland said during the MCM London Comic Con (via Mirror). However, the "Arrow" Suicide Squad characters were not the only one who got the snub from DCEU.

Should Grant Gustin Play The Flash In The "Justice League" Films?

Willa Holland also spoke out about how DCEU decided to recast Barry Allen in the upcoming "Justice League" movies as well as "The Flash" solo film (via Youtube). The "Arrow" actress pointed out that her co-star Stephen Amell initially believed that he would portray Oliver Queen in the "Justice League" movies but the character seems to have been completely ignored.

"When Stephen found out there was going to be a 'Justice League' movie it only seemed, rightly so, he would be playing Green Arrow on it as well as Grant playing the Flash," Holland told the audience at MCM London Comic Con. "It just seemed like the right normal answer." However, things didn't work out the way they should for the stars of "Arrow" and "The Flash," and Willa Holland believes they shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them.

"Once they said no, you can't really fight against them for it, because they are the people that gave us a job in the first place," Holland stated. "You just have to sit there on your hands, like okay, I get it!"

Barry Allen will be portrayed by Ezra Miller in the upcoming "The Flash" solo film. Amanda Waller will be played by Viola Davis in "Suicide Squad," which will also feature Will Smith as Floyd Lawton/Deadshot.

Do you think Grant Gustin is the right guy to play Barry Allen in "Justice League" and "The Flash" solo film? Let us know in the comments.
