A New Team Of Vigilantes Comes Together In Action-Packed First Trailer For ARROW Season 5

The CW has released a sizzle reel for Arrow's fifth season, and we get a first look at the show's new big bad Prometheus! However, he's not the one you're thinking of from the Justice League comics...

Arrow has divided fans in recent years, but it appears as if the series is about to undergo a reboot of sorts this Fall as Oliver Queen puts together a brand new team of vigilantes. Their training and identities can be found in the sizzle reel below, but by far the biggest reveal at the show's panel was that the lead villain will be Prometheus (just not the one from Grant Morrison's Justice League).

"He's a new character," executive producer Marc Guggenheim told fans. "He's our big bad for the year. We call him Prometheus. It's not the Grant Morrison, Howard Porter Prometheus from the Justice League. He's a new character that fits in with the theme of legacy for this season. He's pretty badass and mean." That's an interesting approach, and we'll have to wait and see if it pays off.

Resurrected Tommy. Since Merlyn is Ras with access to the laz pit, i dont see why not. Carrying on his father's legacy of being the dark archer.

@Beetleborg - There is no lazarus pit anymore. nyssa destroyed it.

@hardxcorexchamp - Flashpoint. Merlyn is said to be a regular on all 3 shows, maybe he time travels instead then. or the last pit actually wasn't fully destroyed

@Beetleborg - I personally believe Tommy is alive, the reason why is I could see Malcolm put him in it before Sara and it would be just another secret he keeps from team Arrow.

@BlackIceJoe - Except that he was against putting Sara in there. There was no reason for him to intervene, yet he warns Team Arrow not to.

@Luminus - That is the perfect cover to hide what he did. Because he knows what happens after you come back from the dead.

Katie Cassidy is now an all show regular, so fans can get off tptb for killing her off now.

Damn, can't believe we're on the fifth season already. It looks okay? I kind of like the premise of him training noobs.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - yeah it's insane. I like the fact that we're definitely seeing Russia which means lots of action, I guess. I do like the fight choreography. Also damn can't wait to see Curtis in action. I really hope they listened to fans after the S4 finale and tones down Felicity. I really like he character when she's the Oracle-type character. I want her to be more of that and less of the girlfriend-I-own-your-ass type.

@Supafairy - I think they totally ignored fan complaints when Felicity said in the season finally "I'm not going anywhere." Basically a big [frick] you to all the Felicity haters.

Supafairy - 7/23/2016, 9:33 PM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I meant the backlash after that finale. :) here's hoping.

This show is exactly like Smallville. Started out amazing but then it started going downhill. One season may be better than the previous, but overall they are still mediocre.
