Even if he wasn’t on Arrow’s set the same day some scenes were shot, it’s completely plausible he could have a stand in wearing the suit only to return later to dub in his voice work for Deathstroke.
If that’s the case, then there’s still plenty of time for Bennett to hop on a plane to Vancouver and do some scenes in person before Arrow’s finale airs next month..
All the drama surrounding this news is totally bizarre, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s a legitimate discrepancy between actors or just some poorly thought out joke.
There’s no reason for Manu Bennett to keep his return a secret as he was very publicly welcomed back to the Arrow cast by Stephen Amell and co-creator Marc Guggenheim the same day he first semi-denied the claim.
