ARROW: New Details On Return Of 'Deathstroke'; "He's Out For Blood" In The PRESENT Day
Thought Slade Wilson would only be showing up in a flashback? Think again! Manu Bennett's Deathstroke is going to make his presence felt in the present day, and it sounds bloody! We also have news on Vinnie Jones' Brick, and what's to come for some of the supporting characters...
Though Ra's al Ghul is a pretty huge DC Comics villain in the grand scheme of things, season three's big bad has still so far paled in comparison to the magnificent Manu Bennett as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke in the last season of Arrow. He'll thankfully be back to shake things up later this season, and TV Line caught up with showrunner Andrew Kreisberg to get the scoop of Slade's return to The CW series. "Slade is definitely [resurfacing] in the present day," he reveals. Will he be happy to learn to of Oliver's demise? "Not that he’s ever happy, but he’s particularly unhappy. When he comes back, he’s out for blood." The site also have some additional details on Vinne Jones' Danny "Brick" Brickwell, revealing that the actor told them that he has a fight scene with an actress who jumps from a window and dangles from a helicopter above. Black Canary?
As for those much talked about scenes between Felicity and Thea, Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim reveals that those will now air a little later this season, but teased: "Felicity having scenes with Laurel that are really terrific. As Felicity said in Episode 3 of this year, she didn’t even think they were friends, so it’s kind of fun to watch these two women who are so different from each other interact. Felicity’s got some words of wisdom to impart to Laurel, and has a perspective that is somewhat unique." What do you guys think about these latest details?
