Intriguing Casting Call Reveals First Details On ARROW Season 5's Possible Big Bad
Arrow is already casting a new big bad for season five, and it sounds like Oliver Queen is going to have his hands full with this guy! Who is he? Hit the jump to see if you can figure out his identity...
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?
