Arrow has quickly become the tent pole for the CW, helping them establish a DC universe for the small screen, and is responsible for three other shows appearing on the network. So, when a milestone for the show (like it's 100th episode) comes around, you want to pull out all of the stops and give fans what they want. What do fans want? They want more of Manu Bennett's Slade Wilson (a.k.a. Deathstroke)! We don't really know in what capacity that he'll return in, but following the post of the above picture by Amell, Bennett posted his own picture, seen below:
Looks like Slade still holds a little bit of a grudge against Oliver Queen! While Bennett is the actor most commonly associated with the character Deathstroke, the DCEU has been making headlines with the Mercenary when Ben Affleck posted a picture of Deathstroke on the set of Justice League, and then Warner Bros. announced that it had hired Joe Manganiello to play Slade Wilson in the DCEU. His first appearance sounds like it will be a brief encounter with the heroes in Justice League, and then make a full-on appearance in the upcoming solo Batman movie. However, Bennett's version is the most recognizable right now, and I can't wait to see him return. The last time we saw Slade, he was imprisoned on Lian Yu, so it'll be interesting to see how he escapes and starts to antagonize the Green Arrow again. After all, he only has one purpose in life right now...destroy Oliver Queen!
