Several new actors have joined the cast of “Arrow” for season 5 and it was revealed today at the Television Critics Association press tour that we’ll be seeing Dolph Lundgren join the show in the new season.
During the TCA press tour it was revealed that Dolph Lundgren will be one of the big bads in the Russian flashbacks as he’ll be playing the head of the Bratva during “Arrow” season 5.
“Arrow” season 5 will also be the end of the flashback sequences according to executive producer Marc Guggenheim.
“We always said that Oliver had a five-year journey when he was marooned on the [island],” Guggenheim told the press via EW. “This year, Oliver spends his time in the flashbacks in Russia. We know from various seeds we planted back in the pilot that he knows how to speak Russian, he became a Bratva captain. Sort of the flashback story in the first half of the year is going to involve Oliver’s introduction into the Bratva.”
Fans who have been watching the show from the beginning know that things kicked off with Oliver returning home after five years on Lian-Yu.
Given that the flashbacks are ending with season 5 it should be interesting to see what happens in the events leading up to Oliver’s return to Star City.
“Arrow” will return for season 5 on Wednesday, October 5th.
