If we take a look into the universe of DC Comics than we find that, it is the son of Oliver Queen who went on to become the Green Arrow after the death of his father and the name of her son is ‘Connor Hawke’. We have also seen a different version of him in DC’s ‘Legends of Tomorrow’. But, Connor was the son of John Diggle who was the partner of Green Arrow in this universe.

“Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is determined to find Diaz at any cost. In order to track down Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) from inside prison, Oliver realizes that will require aligning with an old enemy. Meanwhile, in Star City, Felicity’s attempts to root out Diaz are thwarted by Diggle (David Ramsey), whose allegiance to ARGUS now requires him to keep civilians like her on the outs. Realizing that she can no longer rely on her old team or old methods, a clear-eyed Felicity resolves to find a new way to go after Diaz.”

The news didn’t come as a surprise as the showrunner, Beth Schwartz has already said earlier this year in an interview which clearly suggested that the incoming of Ben Lewis isn’t too far. She said,

“We’re going to keep it all season and series. We didn’t know how long the show was going to go on for, so we always knew that after season 5, there wouldn’t be flashbacks. So, we had talked about flash-forwards years ago. Like, ‘is this what we’re going to do when there aren’t flashbacks? I think it opens up our world immensely, for a seven season show, coming up with new stories that we haven’t done before is definitely a challenge. I think this is a really great way to tell some of these stories and also add a lot of mystery, because we can introduce something in the future and then you’re like, ‘How the hell did that happen?’ So in the present-day story, you’re going to really want to tune in to see all those details.”
