Kyra Zagorsky was cast in the role of Athena, though it’s not made clear if this is a one-off role or something more meaty.
In either case, this cast will allow Arrow to continue its streak of featuring League of Assassins-affiliated villains in every season.
Zagorsky has played short-lived character roles on several shows like Falling Skies and Ice, as well as much more sizable roles like Helix’s Dr. Julia Walker.
Since she’s only getting introduced now, it’s hard to believe Athena would be a part of the whole evil alliance that is Cayden James’ criminal cabal this late in the game, but with Marc Guggenheim teasing Season 6 taking a huge turn before its end, Athena’s appearance could be more important than it initially sounds.
