Back in November we learned that
actress Katrina Law was going to join The CW’s Arrow and play Nyssa al Ghul,
now IGN has released the first images of the actress in character in the
upcoming 13th episode, titled Heir to the Demon.
Executive producer Andrew
Kreiseberg spoke about what fans can expect from Nyssa and how the actress was
cast for the role.
"Our Nyssa certainly has
shades of Talia. Katrina auditioned for Shado and it actually came down to
Katrina and Celina [Jade] and honestly, part of it was just that because we
knew she’d have scenes with Slade [played by Manu Bennett], and it just felt
like a Spartacus overkill. But she's somebody that we've been a fan of. When
this part came up, we saw a lot of people for it, but she certainly is exotic
and beautiful and smart and our stunt guys are over the moon, because she can
do a lot of her own stunts.Nyssa is the next wave of the League of Assasins
that comes to Starling City. But she has some interesting secrets as
well…"
Heir to the Demon is described as
follows:
"As Laurel continues to
unravel, Oliver and Lance try to convince Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) to stay
in Starling City and finally reunite with Laurel and Dinah (guest star Alex
Kingston). However, Sara’s fellow League
of Assassins member, Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law, "Spartacus"),
comes to bring Sara back to the fold, but when Sara refuses, Nyssa kidnaps
Dinah. Realizing she's putting her family in danger by staying in town, Sara
considers re-joining the league."
