ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The CW decided not to move forward withGreen Arrowand the Canarieslast year.
KATHERINE MCNAMARA:It was a huge honor, to be honest.
I was so thrilled they asked me to come back, especially for something like “Armageddon.”

They haven’t killed me yet, so I’m hoping there’s potential for more in the future.
How did it feel to step into Mia’s shoes again after two years away?
Did you do anything special to find the character again?

Then getting on set and putting on the suit for the first time again, it was really moving.
It fit like a second skin, and it really did feel like coming home.
This is the piece of my life that makes me feel like I’m where I belong."

So putting the Green Arrow on again was all it took to get back into her headspace?
I was a bit trepidatious going back.
[So I wondered], “Am I going to be able to snap right back?”
I felt like I was skipping around set all day long.
How does Mia fit into “Armageddon, Part 5”?
What brings her to 2021?
A lot of things.
William has been kidnapped.
What version of Mia do we get here?
She has the most tools at her disposal and the most weapons in her arsenal, as it were.
What is Mia’s dynamic with Team Flash like?
Who does she get on with the most?
I love her dynamic with Team Flash.
Eric told me he wanted “Armageddon” toopen the door for you to return in the future.
Is that something you would be open to doing?
I would love nothing more than to come play in the Arrowverse again.
It’s really an honor, and now maybe there’s a potential for a future there.
The Flashairs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
