With the epic cross-over event finishing up tonight between the Flash and Arrow, I thought I'd throw out a little SPOILER for you regarding a future episode of Arrow. Be warned!
MTV is reporting (wait, MTV???) that Manu Bennett will be returning to the show in season three's 14th episode to reprise his roll as Deathstroke. A little recap for those not familiar: Slade Wilson, a.k.a Deathstroke, was the major baddie from season two. He swore vengeance against Oliver Queen over the death of his love, Shado. He created an army of super soldiers with the help of the Mirakuru drug to help him destroy Starling City, which Oliver swore to protect, and began attacking Oliver through a series of mind games and attacks, one of which left Moria Queen (Ollie's mother) dead. In an EPIC three episode finale, Arrow and Deathstroke finally fight in a battle that was being built up to since the first episode of the season. Arrow beats Deathstroke (obviously!) and he sends him to a prison on the island of Lian Yu, the same island that they both had been stranded on for the better part of two years. Before Oliver leaves Deathstroke, Slade swears to escape and exact his revenge against Oliver.
Fast forward to season three. We haven't heard anything about Slade Wilson yet this season, so the fact that they are bringing him back so quickly is a bit of a surprise. They haven't said whether it's just a quick appearance of him in the prison, or if he escapes and will be playing a bigger roll as season three progresses, but since Bennett is a HUGE fan favorite, any glimpse of Deathstroke is going to be big!
(...can you imagine a fight between him, Ra's al Ghul, and Arrow in the season three finale???)
