" Arrow star Stephen Amell has insisted that he will not be in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, despite rumours to the contrary. Amell penned an open letter to fans on Facebook to respond to recent rumblings that his version of Oliver Queen will make the jump to the big screen for director Zack Snyder&amp;#039;s Man of Steel sequel.  Comic-Con 2014: Arrow, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries stars to appearArrow, The Flash, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural fall premieres set This fresh round of rumours began after Amell promised to make a major announcement about Arrow at San Diego Comic-Con International. &amp;quot;Hey Guys - I appreciate all the support and enthusiasm, but not everything I post is a cryptic indicator that I&amp;#039;m going to be in Batman V Superman. I&amp;#039;m not going to be in Batman V Superman,&amp;quot; he wrote on Thursday (July 3). The actor went on to explain: &amp;quot;As an aside... The next time that I either do a video or an interview with a journalist that I like, I&amp;#039;ll be happy to explain why this is the case. Short form - it&amp;#039;s not a barometer on ability or the quality of genre - TV V Film, no pun intended.  &amp;quot;Everything here boils down to logistics. In any event... thank you for how much support you&amp;#039;ve showed me. But keep in mind, playing Arrow on television isn&amp;#039;t a consolation prize. We play the definitive versions of our characters in the DC Universe.&amp;quot;   Snyder has recently unveiled images of Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman from the upcoming sequel. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will also feature Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Jesse Eisenberg as villainous magnate Lex Luthor. Jason Momoa has also been rumoured to be playing DC Comics hero Aquaman. The film will be released in 2016. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
