Manu Bennett Teases Deathstroke's Return On ARROW

Manu Bennett Teases Deathstroke's Return On ARROW

Manu Bennett may have just been cast as the lead of MTV's live-action Shannara adaptation, but the Australian-New Zealand actor has unfinished business on The CW's Arrow as Deathstroke the Terminator. Will he be friend or foe to Oliver's current antagonist, Ra's Al Ghul (Matt Nable)?

Manu Bennett's Deathstroke will return in Arrow Season 3 episode 14 - "The Return", written by Marc Guggenheim & Erik Oleson and directed by Dermott Downs. Just exactly how Deathstroke escapes his prison cell on Lian Yu remains a mystery. It will also be interesting to see how a mirakuru-free Slade Wilson interacts with Oliver (Stephen Amell). Will the hatred over Shado (Celina Jade) remain or will Slade realize that Oliver was simply in a no-win situation? And what of Deathstroke's prison mate Captain Boomerang (Nick Tarabay)?

Oh wow I forgot Boomerang was locked up with him.

I think there is definitely a possibility that DJ Chase is Slade's son Joe looking for his dad and he knows he kidnapped Thea. Anyway, I can't wait to see Slade's return.

Slade [fricking] Wilson!!! Here's hoping he joins some form of the suicide squad at one point along side bronze tiger, Cupid, dead shot, and maybe captain boomerang

Quick...our season sucks! Let's bring back the only good part of our entire series!!!

I kid, I kid. Manu was great as Deathstroke. The bits and pieces of this show that I've seen...he was definitely the highlight.

Still one of the best tv castings. I want them to cast him in Suicide Squad.

Anybody else think that he could hold his own in a spin-off series? I absolutely love how he has played this character and think we could see some pretty interesting stories come out of a Deathstroke series.

I like to see hi. In the Titans show. I really hoped he reprises his role if ever.

@thelastsonofel in so much agreement but then that begs the question where is the Trinity (Supes, Bats, n WW) on Earth 2. Also I think Tv is Earth 2 and movies is Earth 1.

Deathstroke is going to become an ally against Ras.

I can't see how he'd come back, since I'm pretty sure they left him in that little jail cell on that island with no food or water...

I really hope Slade has some residual mirikuru effects giving him slightly enhanced strength and agility

Shazam is in the same universe as Man of Steel.

I'd like to see a fight between Slade Wilson and Ra's Al Ghul. In the comics that fight scene is always cool. So getting to see that in live action would be great.

Why would Warner Bros. announce the release date of the film alongside the others if it wasn't. Also, the quote from New Line president is about tone.
