Now, an new report says the Arrow Season 5 big bad will take a few cues from legendary The Wire villain Stringer Bell, with just a hint of Jason Momoa.
Arrow Season 4 didn’t quite clue us into next year’s big bad the way Season 3 name-dropped Damien Darhk, leaving fans to sleuth out his or her identity with “charming” descriptions.
We’ll likely hear more of Arrow Season 5 on the road to Comic-Con 2016, but what make we of the new heroes and villains joining the ranks?
In addition to the role’s comparison with Stringer Bell (iconically played by a then-less-prolific Idris Elba), the casting report also tosses in the physical dimensions of Game of Thrones / Aquaman star Jason Momoa.
