The CW announced today that Arrow season seven has found its Longbow Hunters in Holly Elissa (Whistler) as Red Dart, Michael Jonsson (Van Helsing) as Kodiak, and Miranda Edwards (The Magicians) as Silencer. The trio are being described as a legendary group of assassins that will join forces with Ricardo Diaz in his quest to exact revenge against Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and his team.
However, while those three will be causing plenty of trouble for the rest of Team Arrow, the Green Arrow will still find himself locked up for at least a good chunk of the season and he'll have plenty of trouble of his own as he encounters a couple familiar faces from his past. Michael Jai White (Bronze Tiger), Cody Runnels (Derek Sampson), and Vinnie Jones (Brick Brickwell) will all reprise their roles as fellow inmates of the former Emerald Archer.
In the shocking season six finale of Arrow, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) not only reveals himself to Star City as The Green Arrow, but he’s also arrested and sent to prison. Cast and producers of The CW/Warner Bros. Television’s hit DC series elaborated on what’s in store for Oliver at Slabside Maximum Security Prison during Arrow’s 2018 Comic-Con panel on Saturday, July 21.
Now that Oliver’s behind bars, he will come face to face with many of his former enemies, including Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger (Michael Jai White), Derek Sampson (Cody Runnels) and Danny “Brick” Brickwell (Vinnie Jones). With all three held in Slabside, Oliver will be forced to confront these and other villains he locked up while wearing the hood.
In addition, Team Arrow will come up against The Longbow Hunters, a legendary group of assassins recruited by Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) to enact his revenge on Oliver and the team after they took down his burgeoning criminal empire in season six. A trio of villains more lethal than any the team has faced, The Longbow Hunters include:
Red Dart (Holly Elissa – Whistler), a ruthless and precise killer
Kodiak (Michael Jonsson – Van Helsing), a beast of a man with brute force
and Silencer (Miranda Edwards – The Magicians, Orphan Black), a master of stealth
