Ryan Robbins Set To Play A "Sadistic And Ruthless" Recurring Villain In ARROW Season 4
Former Falling Skies and Continuum alum Ryan Robbins is the latest name to join the cast of Arrow's fourth season. Set to feature as a member of the villainous 'Shadowspire', this sadistic villain looks set to cause Oliver more than a few problems this year!
It looks like Oliver Queen's going to have his hands full this year. Variety have revealed that yet another villain has joined the cast of Arrow. Former Falling Skies star Ryan Robbins has been tapped to play 'Conklin' in a recurring role on the show's fourth season. He is said to be a "sadistic and ruthless member of Shadowspire", and will first appear in the third episode of Season 4.
Shadowspire are a DC Comics criminal organization that looks set be a thorn in Oliver's side during this year's flashback sequences. They are led by Jimmy Akingbola’s 'Baron Reiter' (also known as Nazi villain 'Baron Blitzkrieg' in the comics). Thankfully EP Marc Guggenheim has since clarified that this version of Reiter won't subscribe to any Nazi philosophies. In the past, Shadowspire have been associated with Oliver's archenemy, Deathstroke. Could their inclusion possibly bring about the return of Manu Bennett's popular villain?

Arrow Season 4 premieres Wednesday, October 7 on The CW.
