It's been well over a year since we last saw Roy Harper flipping around on
Arrow, but it looks like that's all about to change during this coming season.
Last night, actor Colton Haynes, in a
Twitter exchange with a fan, revealed that Roy Harper would be "
coming back very soon," which, while not necessarily an official confirmation, is as close to a confirmation as it can get. Details on the potential return are currently nonexistant, but it does fall in line with the producers' claims that we would be seeing several familiar faces from the first two seasons, which also include Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett), who's already been confirmed for multiple episodes this season.
Check out the exchange below:
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy). Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
