ANOTHER New Series Regular For Season 2: Arrow Upgrades Manu Bennett

Prepare for more Slade Wilson in Season 2. On the island, and maybe…. elsewhere?

THR’s Lesley Goldberg just posted the scoop that Manu Bennett, who plays Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke, will be a series regular for Arrow’s second season. He joins the also-recently-promoted Colton Haynes (Roy Harper) and Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak).

We’re assuming Bennett’s scenes will continue on the island, but wouldn’t it be something if Slade Wilson showed up in the present day, eyepatch and all? Maybe we could even meet some of his family, which might include a Ravager or two…
