The second season of The CW's Arrow began production today, and we now have an impressive casting announcement for the DC Comics television series. According to TV Line, fan-favorite actress Summer Glau (best known for her roles in Firefly, Serenity and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) has been tapped to fill a recurring role for the upcoming season. She will play Isabel Rochev, who is described as "the beautiful and dangerous Vice President of Aquisitions for Stellmoor International, a company looking to take over Queen Consolidated. Per DC lore, Isabel fancies herself a bit of a rightful heir to the Queen family business, and as such she will be eager to get Ollie out of her way." The character was previously referenced on the show as her name was on Robert Queen's "list".

Arrow season two premieres on The CW Wednesday, October 9th. The show will also be present at San Diego Comic-Con next week. What do you think of this casting choice?

Please don't let this mean Arrow gets canceled. I love Summer Glau but every show she is on gets canceled way too early.

The Crap deserved to be canceled that show was ridiculously bad

YES!

Summer Glau... I was just wondering what she was up to these days! And now she's going to be on a THIRD one of my favorite T.V. shows (after of course appearing in Firefly and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles). And now she gets to play a villain? THAT is awesome!

I just wish she was playing someone a little more iconic, like a supervillain or something; I admit I'm not too boned up on Green Arrow lore, but I've never even heard of this character before. But hey, if she makes the role work, maybe this character will become iconic in the Green Arrow mythos.

Honestly, though, I hope she gets to fight someone.

Summer, you're a great actress but stay away from tv shows. Her work must be a bit annoying since she can't keep a stable job.

Summer: Firefly is cancelled... Ooh! Terminator!
Two years later
Summer: Damn it! Ooh Dollhouse!
One year later
Summer: WTF!? Cape!
A couple of months later
Summer: Screw my life... ARROW!

Iwonder why people are so damn superstious. SHe is obviously a good actress. There are several actors who were on shows that were cancelled. That doesnt mean they are the "kiss of death" people just look and trends and think they mean something.

Correlation does not equal causation.

In the summer the rate of popsicles bought rises and so does the rise of rapes. Does that mean posicles casue rapes? no.

Ohh please oh please oh please let DC be strong enough to withstand Summer's curse. I love this woman and every damn time she shows up and stuff gets good, it gets canned. I think she's just too damn hott for TV and it can only handle her in short bursts.

Arrow is different than most of the shows she's been on.
The Cape wasn't too great, it was very cheesey. This is more down to Earth.

I like Summer Glau, but she's better in small doses.
