Madison McLaughlin Joins ARROW Season 5 As 'Artemis'
After making her Arrow debut as troubled teen Evelyn Sharp last season, Madison McLaughlin is now set to return in a recurring capacity as the DC Comics character Artemis! Come check it out!
Another emerald archer is coming to Star City...
Variety is reporting that Madison McLaughlin (Chicago P.D.) has signed on to return as Evelyn Sharp in Arrow season five, but instead of becoming the Black Canary 3.0, she'll be forging her own identity as Artemis. McLaughlin will recur throughout the season with her arc starting in episode 502.
Further details on the extent of her role were unavailable, but it's likely the show will follow Artemis' arc from the DC animated series Young Justice, which saw her become the Green Arrow's sidekick following the departure of Roy Harper. Barring any unforeseen twist, it's unlikely the show will explore her parents, the villains Tigress & Sportsmaster, who are both presumed dead in the Arrow universe.
So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!
After defeating his most formidable foe to date and riding off into the sunset with longtime flame Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen (a.k.a. The Arrow) left Starling City with the hopes of beginning a new life. But will Oliver ever truly be able to leave behind his past as the Arrow, and, if so, what becomes of the team he has worked so hard to assemble? Will Diggle, Thea, and Laurel be left to continue Oliver’s crusade without him? And with Malcolm Merlyn having ascended to the top of the League of Assassins as the new Ra's al Ghul, is anyone really safe?
