Australian actor Matt Nable is set to play The Demon's Head, aka Ra's al
Ghul the leader of the League of Assassin's in Arrow, and if you saw his debut in
the last episode you know that him and his comic counterpart are very physically
different.
Speaking to MTV News, Arrow's executive producer Marc Guggenheim explains
why that is.
"In our casting process,
we didn’t want to go with the willowy, sinewy Ra’s that was established in the
comics," he reveals. "We wanted someone who would be a formidable physical
presence. You can get away with that live sinewy Ra’s when it’s being drawn by
Neal Adams, but when you actually have to put something in front of a camera,
we thought it was better to have someone who added a good physical presence to
that."
Guggenheim went on to talk about the impact the character will have in
the rest of the season, and how he differs from Malcolm Merlyn or Slade Wilson.
"He’s definitely the main antagonist of the season. He’s
responsible for a lot of the events that kick off the year, and reverberate
throughout the season. He’s our Big Bad, and he’s a very different kind of Big
Bad than we’ve had, Malcolm Merlyn and Slade Wilson. Ra’s exists above it all.
He’s so much more powerful than Malcolm or Slade. He has so much deeper reach,
and he has a much larger organization at his beck and call. He’s just a very
different kind of foe."
