A Familiar Face Arrives In Star CIty In ARROW Season 5, Episode 5 Promo; "Human Target"
The Human Target is coming to Arrow in next week's instalment of The CW series, and in this first look at the episode, things are looking pretty bleak for both Mayor Queen and new recruit, Wild Dog.
The CW has released the first promo forthe fifth episode of Arrow's fifth season, and in it we get what may or may not be our first look at the Human Target rocking a pretty cool costume. If that name's familiar, it's because the character starred in a short-lived TV series a number of years ago, but this is going to be a different version played by Jessica Jones villain Wil Traval when he appears in Star City.
A professional bodyguard and master of disguise who assumes the identities of those targeted by assassins, the character (a.k.a. Christopher Chance) will be an ally to Oliver Queen here, but it's what brings him to this neck of the woods which is really interesting. Does the mayor hire him to fake his assassination and fool Tobias Church or is that someone the villain hired to do the deed? We'll see.
DC COMICS’ CHRISTOPHER CHANCE AKA HUMAN TARGET TEAMS UP WITH OLIVER — When Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman) captures and tortures one of Oliver’s new recruits, Oliver must turn to an old friend, Christopher Chance (guest star Wil Traval) AKA the Human Target, for help. Meanwhile, Felicity’s (Emily Bett Rickards) worlds collide when Detective Malone (guest star Tyler Ritter) joins the ACU. Laura Belsey directed the episode written by Oscar Balderrama & Sarah Tarkoff.
