It’s not long now until the third season of Arrow, the CW’s terrific adaptation of Green Arrow. While some plot details and casting have begun to leak out, producer Marc Guggenheim has posted one of the first images from the first episode of Season 3 via Twitter.
The image (above) appears to show a twin pair of katana swords. Given that we already know Devon Aoki has been cast as Katana in the third season of the show, one can assume the eponymous weapons are connected. Additionally, the second season ended with a flashback to Hong Kong, and one might guess that the character will be introduced during this section.
Speaking of new cast members, a few days ago Emily Bett Rickards (who plays fan-favourite Felicity on the show) posted this image with new co-star Brandon Routh and the caption “This will be us for a while”. Routh, best known for playing the hero in Superman Returns, has been tapped to play Ray Palmer (aka The Atom) in the upcoming season.
Arrow – Season 3 debuts on The CW on Wednesday 7 October 2014 in the US. No word on an Australian release date, with the second season still doing the limbo.
