- Stephen Amell stars in the upcoming "Baywatch" reboot and said slipping into the red trunks felt "so familiar" that the role registered like a superhero gig
- The actor first rose to public attention as Oliver Queen in DC's superhero series "Arrow," the comparison point he reached for when describing his new Baywatch role
Why it matters: The crossover framing matters for the reboot's marketing: positioning Amell — a CW superhero alum — as the face of Baywatch signals the project is leaning into action-parody territory rather than the original show's sun-and-procedural tone, potentially reshaping expectations for a longtime fan base.
