"Arrow" season 5 will also feature new villains terrorizing Star City such as gang leader Tobias Church (Chad L. Coleman), an unknown character played by former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, and this season's main villain Prometheus.
Mericle stated Prometheus was created because of Oliver's action in season 1 and judging by his appearance in the show, he will represent a dark mirror to Green Arrow and will be as strong, fast and likely more cunning than Oliver. Prometheus will have a grudge against Oliver and will go after him in a "sociopathic" kind of way, JoBlo reported.
In other news, it seems that Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (Manu Bennett) will likely return to the "Arrow" TV series soon.
Series star Stephen Amell addressed a fans question during the Salt Lake Comic-Con event the regarding the status of Deathstroke in the Arrowverse now that Warner Bros. confirmed that the character will appear in the DC Extended Universe via Ben Affleck's solo Batman film.
The "Arrow" star stated that it is something that people bring up on a regular basis and just because there may or may not be a Deathstroke in the DC Extended Universe it does not mean Manu Bennett cannot exist on their show, Screenrant reported.
With that in mind, there is still a chance that Deathstroke could still appear on "Arrow" anytime soon either on season 5 up until season 7.
"Arrow" season 5 will premier on Oct. 5 on the CW Network.
