No, Stephen Amell won’t grow a Green Arrow goatee, so don’t ask
Now however it may seem that the producers will be taking more inspiration from the comic with a possible adaptation of Jeff Lemire’s epic New 52 Green Arrow run which is easily one of the shining moments of the New 52. Unfortunately, outside of Oliver Queen changing his superhero identity to Green Arrow, there hasnt been much news regarding exploration of the Emerald Archers direct mythology, which isnt too surprising given that the previous three seasons have introduced quite a few individuals from his supporting cast and rogues gallery. The caption read: “Nice to be working with Neal McDonough this season…” He’s not as centurion as Ra’s, he’s not as looney tune as Slade, he’s not as – and people will be surprised I use this word – he’s not as noble as Malcolm Merlyn. “We wanted someone who was truly, truly malevolent”. We’ve never done that on the show before. “This guy does the wrong thing for the wrong reasons”, he said.
As for other plans for Season 4, David Ramsey who plays Diggle has confirmed that Diggle will be the leader of Team Arrow at the start of Season 4, leading Laurel/Black Canary (Katie Cassidy) and Thea/Speedy (Willa Holland), while Felicity(Emily Bett-Rickards) and Oliver/Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) are on a sabbatical.
“It’s a bad situation to have this guy coming in”. Revealing that he brings both a darkness and intensity to the role this season. “We are coming out of the gate strong”, he said. “We’re not waiting and actually, that itself has really energised the show, and it infuses even the ‘villain of the week” episodes with an epicness that they wouldn’t otherwise have”.
The “Arrow” incarnation of Damien shows the character sporting dark suits that sharply contrast his bleached blonde hair.
In other news, Cassidy was recently honoured at the 2015 PRISM Awards, which recognizes the correct depiction of substance abuse and mental illness in film, television, comic book entertainment, interactive, music and DVD.
