CBR spoke with Stephen Amell and the director of the Arrow season seven premiere, James Bamford, about how things have changed for Oliver Queen.

Amell said: “Oliver is in prison with a bunch of people that he put in prison. We were fortunate enough to get some people back on the show that you haven’t seen in quite a while.

Bamford added: “We’re investigating completely different dynamics within the mythology of the show and that is within Supermax. There’s a whole world, as you know, within a prison community and we’ll see how long he lasts inside there and what and who he encounters while he’s in there. It’s left open to multiple possibilities, as far as characters that could arise. What I’ve said to the other folks is, ‘What if Batman got put in prison and, for instance, the Joker was right next door?’ The possibilities are endless. I can’t say exactly who or what’s in there, but it’s a pretty dark, horrible, evil place. We want the audience to not only feel what it’s like to be confined in such a destitute place. I want [you] to feel what he feels, so you’ll get the grit.
