After the death of Black Cannary (portrayed by Katie Cassidy), the DC TV drama series "Arrow" will introduce a familar character.
With the death of Black Canary in Season 4 of CW's Arrow, it would come as no surprise that they would want to fill that void. Throw another vigilante in the Arrow Cave this Season 5, but it will be someone you have met before.
The DC drama will officially introduce a new spin on female archer vigilante Artemis, although filling the role with the same mysterious Evelyn Sharp character, portrayed by Madison McLaughlin, has already appeared in the last season.
McLaughlin previously appeared in "Arrow" Season 4 as a troubled teen who stole the Black Canary mantle in order to seek vengeance against Damien Darhk. Season 5 will reintroduce the character under a different vigilante moniker, Variety reported. Evelyn Sharp will appear in several episodes, which starts with 502, as masked archer Artemis.
For those unfamiliar the female Archer, comics introduced Artemis Crock as the daughter of villains Tigress and Sportsmaster, and a sister of another villain Cheshire, which was delved more into by the animated series, Young Justice. In the Young Justice storyline, her mother is The Huntress.
The Cartoon Network show fleshed out her personality and backstory, and gave more notable profile to the character as an archer under Green Arrow's guidance. Wayward vigilantism appears to be a major theme for "Arrow" Season 5, following the additions of the Rick Gonzalez's Wild Dog, and Josh Segarra's "Vigilante."
In the last episode of Season 4, Oliver swore as a mayor of Starling City, so in Season 5, being tenured as Star City mayor will pit him against an "apex predator" crime boss influenced by The Wire villain Stringer Bell, which reported that there is a hint of Jason Momoa. Stephen Amell, the actor who plays the role of Oliver Queen, has also downplayed the likelihood of The Flash's time-turning twist affecting any Arrow chronology.
Colton Haynes, the actor portrayed the role of Roy Harper, was reported will come back and play the same role for a number of episodes, Screen Crush reported.
