ARROW Season 4: New Details On 'Damien Darhk' And Star City Transformation
Season four of Arrow will see Green Arrow battling it out with Damien Darhk and the villainous H.I.V.E., and executive producer Marc Guggenheim talks here about this take on the character and offers some insight as to why Starling City will becoming Star City. Check it out...
In the season three premiere of Arrow, Ray Palmer revealed plans to rebrand Starling City as Star City. It was a plot thread which appeared to be dropped fairly early on, but could his apparent death have led to the change? One thing that's for sure is that it won't be Damien Darhk's doing according to TV Line (I don't think any of us thought it would be, but they confirmed the fact in response to a reader's question. However, he will still be casting a pretty long shadow over Oliver's rebranded home. "He’s very different from our previous Big Bads in that he’s not hiding in the shadows," Marc Guggenheim explains. "But at the same time, he doesn’t have a public persona."
Just because Darhk likes to stick to the shadows doens't mean he won't be making his presence felt in season four of Arrow though, as we'll get to meet him in the premiere on October 7th. "He shows up at a very public meeting that Lance is present. If Darhk wants to show up somewhere, he’s certainly going to!" Are you looking forward to seeing this new take on the villain? Here's hoping he's closer to Deathstroke than Ra's al Ghul, eh? Let us know your thoughts below...
