'Arrow' season 5 spoilers: Are John Diggle Jr. from Flashpoint and Connor Hawke connected?

Due to Barry Allen's (Grant Gustin) meddling with the past, the entire Arrowverse was affected. One of the biggest changes as seen in "Arrow" season 5 is Diggle (David Ramsey) being a father to baby John instead of baby Sara.

However, it looks like this change is far bigger than how "Arrow" makes it seems to be and how it looks overall in the Arrowverse.

Fans will remember that in the first season of "Legends of Tomorrow," Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and company visited Star City in the year 2046, a future where Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) was undefeated.

There, the Waverider crew finds that Oliver (Stephen Amell) has stopped moonlighting as the Green Arrow (and lost his arm) and was succeeded by John Diggle, Jr. (Joseph David-Jones), who called himself Connor Hawke.

This has many fans wondering if the "Arrow" season 5 change from Flashpoint ties to John Jr. being the Green Arrow in the future. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim attempted to explain it in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"We go back and forth on that. That was certainly a notion of ours. It's hard for me to honestly answer the question without committing to a version of time travel, because in order for that to be the case, then Flashpoint would've had to have happened," he said.

"You start to get into the very, very complicated time travel rules that, quite frankly, I as a writer don't have an appetite to answer unless we tell a story one day that deals with John Jr., and even then, I don't know if we would directly address that issue head on," he went on to say.

It looks like the alteration that resulted in the erasure of baby Sara in "Arrow" season 5 was only meant to be a consequence of Barry's actions in Flashpoint and nothing more.

From the looks of it, Guggenheim's team has no plans connecting the two in "Arrow" season 5. If they would, it will surely be a complicated trip.

"Arrow" season 5 returns on Wednesday, Jan. 25, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
