Plus, Barrowman recently teased that Merlyn will have a huge part to play in the Arrow season 5 storyline as it wraps up.
Although Barrowman completed his run on Legends of Tomorrow in the season 2 finale, which wrapped up and disbanded the Legion of Doom, the actor will be back on The CW at least once more this year as Malcolm Merlyn returns to Arrow before the show’s fifth season ends.
Legends of Tomorrow will return for season 3 on The CW.
Of course, if Barrowman truly doesn’t return to The CW next year, that likely means the deal he made last year was only for a single season.
