‘Arrow’ begins Production on ‘Deathstroke Returns’

When news spread that Manu Bennett would be returning as Deathstroke in the Season 5 finale of Arrow – fans were not shy to express their excitement. Fans had been longing for Slade to return to the TV Series, so it came as a super sweet reward.

In previous interviews, EPs Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle have both discussed that we will see some upcoming Deathstroke centric episodes. Well, Arrow fans, it looks as though the ball is finally about to start rolling!

A tweet from EP Marc Guggenheim confirmed that the camera’s are rolling on Slade’s big episode:

“Manu Bennett’s Slade Wilson will be back for the fifth episode of Arrow’s upcoming sixth season, which is titled “Deathstroke Returns,”

In addition to learning a little bit more about missing events in the life of our favorite DC Villain, we will also be getting the return of another character.

The episode will also feature the return of Joe Dinicol as Rory Regan aka Ragman.

Rory was last introduced to us in season 5, but lost his powers after an intense team battle with Prometheus. After that he left the team, and hasn’t been heard from since.

Arrow will return October 12, 2017.
