There are only four episodes left in Arrow's fourth season, but The CW is already eying a new foe for Oliver Queen in the divisive show's fifth year. We already know that the finale is going to set the stage for what's to come when the show returns in the fall, but whether or not that will tease the idenity of this mysterious character - who is set to join Echo Kellum as a new series regular - remains to be seen. 

"James" is described as an "irrepressibly charming" contemporary of Oliver's who is said to be "a man on a mission" out to avenge a tragic, violent loss from his past. There's a chance then that he could appear in Arrow's flashbacks then, and TV Line adds that The CW is looking for an actor of any ethnicity who is in his late 20s/early 30s and can come across as a convincing physical threat. Interestingly, the site adds that he could, "just as easily shake your hand as your best friend or break your neck as your worst enemy — and you never know which one is coming. Either way, he’s more than capable of having a good time as he does it." Does anyone from the comic books immediately spring to mind? 

I can't think of anyone, but here's hoping "James" makes a bigger impact than Damien Darhk has, eh?

Will probably be another generic big bad who makes Team Arrow go in circles all year, turn on one another, threaten Felicity and then unite by the end like Darhk did

Arrow needs to die after season 5. Bury it.


Idk if I can take anymore of this:







And this face every episode. He seriously makes this face every episode lol.

Apparently Oliver is going to go to Hub City and hopefully meet Vic Sage.
Why dont we have a villain team up. Some sort of Secret Society of Supervillains. Id be into that.
Clock King, Drakon, Deathstroke, and Vertigo. Something really comic booky.
Ya know i can forgive Arrow for everything if they give me a freaking musical episode with Music Meister.
