by Shawn Madden

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that actor Manu Bennett has been promoted to series regular by the CW for the second season of Arrow. In the series the actor plays the role of Slade Wilson, who so far has been portrayed as an ally of Oliver Queen during the flashback’s to his time on the island. But, does that mean things are going to continue on that path? Only time will tell if we will see Wilson eventually become Deathstroke in the series and we’ve got another season of Slade to see just what happens.

‘Spartacus’ Star Manu Bennett Cast As Deathstroke In The CW’s ‘Arrow’

by Shawn Madden

We’ve seen him in flashbacks to the island but now Deathstroke is coming to Starling City in The CW’s Arrow! In the flashbacks Deathstroke was played by stuntman Jeffrey C. Robinson but we’ve now learned that Spartacus fan favorite Manu Bennett has been cast as the popular DC assassin. He has yet to remove the mask but we will see that change when the character returns in episode 9.

Bennett, best known as Crixus on Spartacus and who will also be appearing in The Hobbit: An Expected Journey, has signed on to appear in multiple episodes. Can we expect him to become one of Oliver’s recurring enemies? One can only hope.
