In a
recent interview to IGN, Arrow and The Flash executive producer, Andrew
Kreisberg gave some insight on the return of Caity Lotz, aka Canary, Nyssa, and
the rumored new villain, Ra's Al Ghul.
"We have her booked for
three episodes, with hopefully more. She has come back to Starling City because
she is on a mission... and that is all I can say." So it seems that Canary will have a more
active participation in the upcoming new season, and about of Nyssa? "A lot of what we did
in Season 1 was setting up Season 2," he teased. "You can be assured
that a lot of the things we did in Season 2 are to help set up Season 3."
Conversation
then turned to one of the rumored new villains in the upcoming season, Ra's Al
Ghul
"You know us -- we're never one to do the logical
thing! You know, I can't comment on that -- I can neither confirm nor deny. But
rest assured, we have a lot of amazing stuff set up, mythology-wise, this year
that will really feel like an extension of everything we've done before."
One of the biggest additions to
the third season of Arrow was the cast of Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer, aka The
Atom, who according to Kreisberg will have a big impact on the show.
"I think, in the great tradition of shows when
they hit Season 3, we're bringing on a game-changing character, somebody who's
brought on specifically to shake up all the characters, and we are overjoyed
and beyond thrilled that Brandon is willing to come on. First of all, he's such
an amazing guy. Beyond that, he's just such an amazing actor. One of the things
we really wanted to inject more into the show was humor. What's funny about
Oliver and Felicity is that he's the straight man. She sort of gets all the
funny lines. What's great about having Brandon on the show is Brandon's an
old-time movie star. He's like Jimmy Stewart. He can play that rat-tat-tat,
Preston Sturges, you know, His Girl Friday with Felicity. He's obviously got
the superhero looks and superhero physique, but he has the fun and funny and
charm that Grant brings to Barry. Just from what I've seen so far in the
dailies, we are so grateful that he's taken another step back into the DC
Universe."
As for if Palmer will turn into
The Atom and put on his costume, Kreisberg says.
"Well, you don't bring Brandon Routh onto your
show to not go down that path. As always with these things, how, when, where
and why will be the journey of the season.
The conversation then turned into
The Flash, which will introduce never seen characters on tv, like Firestorm,
who will be played by Robbie Amell.
"Well, we'll first meet
him in flashbacks, and then we'll see how it evolves from there. I got to know
Robbie [Amell] a little bit," he added. "Obviously I didn't work
on The Tomorrow People, but Greg [Berlanti] did. So I got to see him on the set
and got to know him a little bit. He's just such an amazing kid and just a
special guy. When we knew we wanted to bring Ronnie in, you know, it was a list
of one. Again, we're just so grateful Robbie was willing to come and play."
Now back to Arrow. As for Katana,
played by Devon Aoki, Kreisberg revealed what many had suspected, which is, the
character will appear mainly in flashbacks.
"You know, Oliver has many, many skills, some of
which we've seen and some we haven't -- and Katana is going to be another
surprisingly large influence on his growth as both a hero and a fighting
machine."
