“Arrow” season 5 is set to introduce a new adversary for Oliver Queen, but according to TVLine the show will also be introducing a new vigilante next season. It’s not known right now exactly who the vigilante will be, but he’s described as a cocksure/reckless ex-Marine.
When we last left Team Arrow Oliver and Felicity were the only two remaining members and Oliver had also been sworn in as mayor of Star City. Producer Wendy Mericle told TVLine that City Hall will be crucial to the series in season 5.
As far as the flashbacks go, it’s been teased that Russia will be the setting for season 5 and Wendy Mericle added more fuel to the fire by hinting at the location once again.
“It’s a very good possibility that we’ll finally find out how he got that Bratva tattoo and how he learned to speak Russian,” says Mericle. “When Oliver says, ‘No one can know my secret’ and he kills that guy in the pilot, we’re going to get some insight into that.”
