“Arrow” season 6 is going to be a little bit different compared to previous seasons, because Team Arrow won’t just be facing off against one big bad, there will be multiple villains.
One of the villains who will be stepping up to take on Team Arrow is none other than Richard Dragon. When it comes to Richard Dragon, fans shouldn’t expect a villain who wears a costume like Deathstroke or Prometheus, as Dragon will be a much more grounded villain.
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim recently spoke to Comicbook.com at San Diego International Comic Con, and he compared Richard Dragon to Tobias Church while hyping up the fact that he’ll be a crime lord.
“You know, what I really like about our interpretation of Richard is, he’s very grounded. He’s not a flamboyant big bad, he doesn’t wear a costume, he really is a crimelord sort of in the Tobias Church model. For Tobias we only really saw him for about five episodes, so we were excited about the prospect of doing a cool, gritty crime lord, but for a longer period of time. We’ve never really done that on the show before, so it’s different.”
As far as other villains, go it’s been teased that Team Arrow will once again get involved with the hacker group HELIX. “Lost” alumni Michael Emerson was recently added to the cast, and it’s been speculated that he could be playing HELIX leader Cayden James.
“Arrow” will return on Thursday, October 12.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice.
As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
