ARROW Can't Use Deathstroke Because He's Tied Up On Another Project

It sounds as if Deathstroke will remain in the A.R.G.U.S. operated Super Max prison on Lian Yu indefinitely. According to Arrow's showrunner, he's off limits due to being tied up on another project.

Though Manu Bennett was very critical of how Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke was portrayed on Arrow, he ultimately remains good friends with most of the cast and has stated that he would love to return to the show for the right storyline.  However, according to Marc Guggenheim, Deathstroke is tied up on another DC project.  Is it likely that Deathstroke will soon be appearing the DC Cinematic Universe?  Here's the question asked by a fan and Guggenheim's answer.

Q:  Any possible chance of either Slade or Walter returning throughout the rest of Season 4? #Arrow
Guggenheim: The character of Slade Wilson is currently tied up in another DC project.  Walter is more likely.

There's lots of rumors and speculation on Scott Eastwood's role in Suicide Squad, that he's essentially not just a random government soldier but a mole planted to spy for Batman or Amanda Waller.  Could he ultimately turn out to be Deathstroke?

He said that because he does not really watch the show.....he just loves to slam it.

@DarthBastard - Wasn't him the main villain of the season 2? And the whole thing of him having a schoolboy crush on Shado? And his plan being completely balls out retarded? Turning one of the most badass DC characters into a drugged out pussy who whines about a girl who wasn't even his is stupid.

he may not have been perfect on Arrow, but he was still the best villain the show has had.

Slade was the best part of Arrow. That's not saying a lot though.

@Torhammer - That would be just nice. Fresh air to Batman movies and lots of close combats.

Again, WTF is the point of having separate TV and Movie universe if they are STILL gonna affect who you can and can't show anyway? Is there a f*cking limit? Are they worried it's too confusing for people? People aren't stupid, they can figure it out. Like, Christ this is ridiculous.

Can't wait for people to say "but I thought DC tv and films wouldn't interfere" or "DC films are interfering with the shows".

If you knew anything, Manu Bennett will never come back to Arrow even if they can use Deathstroke. Manu has publicly bashed the show and its creators on how Slade was used in Season 3 and Season 3 overall and Manu has said he wouldn't ever come back to the show.

If DC films want to use Slade, fine by me. No way any of the DC TV shows can use him since Manu doesn't want to return.
