Now, Arrow baddie John Barrowman will follow suit, as Malcolm Merlyn becomes the latest DC vet to expand his horizons.
TVLine confirmed the news, setting Barrowman’s Malcolm Merlyn to jump between Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
Barrowman will take part in the big DC panels at Comic-Con 2016 in the coming weeks, presumably to expand on his new position, but will Malcolm Merlyn find more to do with all-new casts to interact?
The same day that saw The CW expanding its superhero ranks also brought them closer together by the upgrade of Wentworth Miller’s Captain Cold to a “franchise regular” across all series.
