A few theories on who Caity Lotz will play on the Arrow-Flash spinoff http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/31/few-theories-who-caity-lotz-will-play-arrow-flash-spinoff

It really should come as no surprise that The CW is tapping the Arrow and Flash well for another spinoff. But what did shock fans was the announcement that Caity Lotz, whose Arrow character Sara Lance died earlier this season, would somehow play a role on this new superhero team-up project.The untitled drama—which is being developed by Arrow and Flash executive producers Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti, as well as Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter—stars Brandon Routh (Ray Palmer/The Atom), Wentworth Miller (Leonard Snart/Captain Cold), Dominic Purcell (Mick Rory, Heat Wave), Victor Garber (Martin Stein/Firestorm), Ciara Renee (Kendra Saunders, Hawkgirl), Arthur Darvill (Rip Hunter) and Lotz. But, seriously, how?! EW has a few (albeit far-fetched) theories on how the actress will appear on the new project:

‘Arrow’: Saving People Isn’t Your Specialty http://screenrant.com/arrow-season-3-episode-18-public-enemy-spoilers/

[This is a review for Arrow season 3, episode 18. There will be SPOILERS.]
Perhaps it is a testament to how far Arrow has come in nearly three seasons that the series can revisit a plot from season 1, and make the stakes feel completely different. The show has been down this road before, with Oliver Queen being outed as the Arrow, and in the clutches of a man who, though he represents the law, has reason to want to see Oliver punished and will do anything to make that happen. That puts Oliver and Captain Lance in a unique position, one that in many ways makes them one another’s archrivals, despite ostensibly fighting for the same thing.After last week’s disjointed ‘Suicidal Tendencies,’ Arrow is back on track with a much more focused and straightforward episode. It is an hour that manages to blend the three primary threads simultaneously with the theme of how powerful the truth can be – even though the flashback with Shado’s sister Mei (Celina Jade) was perhaps a little too on-the-nose when it came time to incorporating that theme. Still, between Oliver running from the law (or, more precisely, an enraged Captain Lance), Ray’s near fatal run-in with Maseo’s arrow meant for Felicity, and the Hong Kong flashback, it felt more like an episode with potential consequences, and less like an hour of wheel-spinning.

At the end of last night's episode, Roy (Colton Haynes) set himself up to take the fall as the Arrow to save Oliver from that fate, and he's going to find himself locked up in Iron Heights Prison, refusing to let anyone save him.

New ‘Arrow’ Trailer Teases a Prison Break and Long-Awaited Hook-Up (Video) https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/arrow-trailer-teases-prison-break-long-awaited-hook-174626687.html

Things have been getting increasingly dramatic on The CW’s “Arrow,” and in a new trailer teasing the final five episodes of the show’s third season, Starling City’s resident superhero brigade will be going through even more changes.Last we left off, Roy (Colton Haynes) had turned himself in to the police in order to free Oliver (Stephen Amell), who had been publicly outed as the Arrow. When things pick back up, Roy is insistent that he do Oliver’s time for him, but the real vigilante isn’t having it – and plans a prison break for his sidekick.Meanwhile, Oliver seems to finally be acquiescing to Ra’s Al Ghul’s (Matt Nable) demand that he become his successor, and is seen embracing his new role as Heir to the Demon.But the part of the trailer that will have most fans’ tongues wagging is a scene involving Oliver and long-suffering Gal Friday, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), since the two have been dancing around their feelings for each other for three seasons now.Despite the fact that she’s still with Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) — who appears to be ready to join Team Arrow himself — a roaring fire and some alone time with Oliver appears to prove too tempting for the tech genius.“Arrow” returns with the final five episodes of Season 3 on Wednesday, Apr. 15 at 8 p.m. on The CW.

Have ‘Arrow’ Fans Seen The Last of Deadshot? http://screenrant.com/arrow-deadshot-suicide-squad-movie/

Those fond of DC Comics’ supporting characters and lesser-known villains are eagerly awaiting the chance to see Deadshot brought to life in Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad – but Will Smith’s upcoming portrayal may have another version to thank when all is said and done. Long before the live-action film started gaining speed, the Squad proved that a villain team can do some good in the world of The CW’s Arrow.Unfortunately, the version of the DC Comics assassin – who is famous for “never missing” – portrayed by Michael Rowe may not be seen for some time. That’s according to executive producer Marc Guggenheim, who delivered some bad news to fans hoping the Suicide Squad member would play a larger role in Arrow‘s future.

Arrow Won't Be Using A Major Villain Anymore http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Arrow-Won-t-Using-Major-Villain-Anymore-71100.html

The CW’s Arrow turned out to be a seminal series for the network, producing the spinoff The Flash, as well as the upcoming untitled hybrid team-up series. However, it seems that the show continues to find itself dancing around the apparently greater forces over at Warner Bros. studios, as it readies its unconnected DC Comics Cinematic Universe. Now, it appears that a major villain in the TV vehicle may have found himself a poetically “targeted” casualty of the pop-culture parallels of the upcoming movies.Warning: Some SPOILER material ahead for those not yet past Arrow’s March 25 episode, “Suicidal Tendencies.”

Flash/Arrow Spin Off: 'It's Going to be Unstoppable' http://ap.ign.com/the-atom/88300/news/flasharrow-spin-off-its-going-to-be-unstoppable

With each new casting announcement on the Arrow/Flash spin off series currently in development, fan anticipation and curiosity rises.IGN caught up with executive producer Andrew Kreisberg at the WonderCon red carpet for The Flash this weekend, where we were able to ask a bit about what we can expect from the ambitious team-up.Kreisberg wasn't able to reveal any hints about the title just yet, but the producer did say, "I can tell you that it's going to be cool. It's going to be really cool. Our plan for it is that it's like the crossover [episodes between Arrow and The Flash] every week."Adding, "On both Arrow and The Flash there are teams in the sense that there is Team Arrow and Team Flash, but to have a team fully comprised of heroes and villains is going to be pretty epic."Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco Ramon on The Flash, also chimed in with the behind the scenes scuttlebutt about the series."The things I've heard, it's going to be amazing," the actor enthused. "And my buddy Arthur Darvill just got cast in it. It's going to be unstoppable. It's going to be unstoppable. I'm going to say that for the record. Yep, there you go."To clarify, Valdes isn't IN the spinoff, but Darvill - who fans will likely remember played Rory on Doctor Who - is indeed set to portray Rip Hunter in the spin off, as previously reported.Though producers are being somewhat tightlipped, there seems to be a high level of confidence that the upcoming series will be a crowd pleaser.

The Clever Plan To Keep Arrow, The Flash And The Spinoff All Connected http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Clever-Plan-Keep-Arrow-Flash-Spinoff-All-Connected-71157.html

Although we have yet to hear any story details for the Arrow/The Flash spinoff, there’s been plenty of news regarding characters who will be appearing. Fans can expect to see established heroes and villains from both Arrow and The Flash, as well as other DC characters making their debut in this TV universe. Now, according to Arrow star Stephen Amell, all three of the CW’s DC superhero projects will get even more connected thanks to the inclusion of a character from the Emerald Archer’s series.Amell mentioned at Fan Expo Canada this weekend that not only does he expect Oliver Queen to appear in all three shows, but there will also be an Arrow character who will be traveling between Arrow, The Flash and this spinoff. Here’s what Amell said, according to Comicbook.com:

‘The Flash’/’Arrow’ Crossover Images: Laurel Gets Her Canary Cry http://screenrant.com/flash-arrow-crossover-laurel-cisco-canary-cry/

As The Flash winds down its stellar first season, with only five episodes left until the finale, it appears that there are a couple of crossover episodes on the horizon. A few characters from Arrow will be visiting Central City when The Flash returns with new episodes next week, and the following week will see the investigation into Harrison Wells move to the home of the Arrow. In the April 14th episode of The Flash, titled ‘All Star Team Up,’ Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) and Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) arrive in Central City to get some help from S.T.A.R. Labs with the Atom suit. Of course, their visit ends with Barry confiding to Felicity his suspicions about Dr. Wells. But the new extended trailer (below) shows that Cisco and Caitlin will also learn the shocking truth. Bonus fact: The episode is directed by Kevin Tancharoen (Mortal Kombat: Legacy).

The first photo of Suicide Squad star Jared Leto as the Joker is here, and it’s a classic Batman tribute!Director David Ayer tweeted the pic on Thursday, which shows Leto donning the Joker’s signature green hair and holding a camera, a reference to the cover of Batman: The Killing Joke, one of the most critically-acclaimed graphic novels featuring the famous villain.The Killing Joke, which features an origin story that describes the villain as a failed stand-up comedian who is driven insane after being disfigured and defeated by Gotham’s hero, is considered by many to be the definitive Joker story and one of the best Batman stories ever published.Leto was not pictured in the cast photo Ayer snapped at a read-through on Wednesday, prompting many to wonder where he was and even suggesting that he was the one who snapped the photo. But this new pic – complete with the #WhereIsJared hashtag – will certainly whet the appetites of DC fans everywhere.

The Flash/Arrow Spinoff May Have A Title, Will Apparently Focus On One Character http://www.cinemablend.com/televisi...tle-Apparently-Focus-One-Character-71231.html

The Arrow/The Flash spinoff has been drawing a lot of attention for its casting announcements recently. From super villains like Captain Cold and Heat Wave to brand new heroes like Hawkgirl and Rip Hunter, this spinoff is mixing together a variety of DC heroes and villains. Now, after weeks of not having anything to name this particular project, we have finally have a possible title for it, but what’s odd is that it’s named after just one of the main characters: The Atom.

‘The Flash/Arrow’ Spinoff Show: The Facts & Our Theories http://screenrant.com/flash-arrow-spinoff-series-cast-theory/

[WARNING: This article contains potential SPOILERS for The Flash/Arrow spinoff and both CW shows]It was only a matter of time that, following the success of The Flash , The CW would look to add another branch onto its Arrow universe (assuming cross-network plans aren’t in place). Yet fans were surprised to find that not only would the next spinoff feature a familiar superhero from the established universe, but several – and some superpowered villains along for the ride as well.Yet the procuders have remained tight-lipped about exactly what story the series will tell, promising only that it will be another departure from the established structures or mythologies. A point made abundantly clear by reports that Caity Lotz would be joining the series, despite her character being killed in Arrow‘s third season opener. But with time travellers and reincarnated warriors in the mix, it seems almost anything is possible.With that in mind, we think it best to run down the roles and characters we know, the comic source material that will likely be drawn from, and of course, our theories on how The CW will resurrect a dead heroine. We can’t promise to be on target, but potential SPOILERS may lie ahead.

Arrow scoop: Will Roy's decision become his final sacrifice? http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/14/arrow-scoop-will-roys-decision-become-his-final-sacrifice

Surprise: Roy Harper is the Arrow. Raise your hand if you believe him. Crickets?Trained by the League of Assassins, and Ra's al Ghul himself, the Black Canary has no reason to shy away from a fight, and that's? 'Arrow'-'Flash' spinoff's role for Caity Lotz? Let's theorize...Arrow fans won’t be the only one questioning Roy’s (Colton Haynes) sudden declaration that he’s Starling City’s hooded savior. Let’s not forget, Lance (Paul Blackthorne) already knows that Roy is Arsenal, so despite Roy’s bid to save Oliver (Stephen Amell), the dogged police captain will still be setting his sights on taking Ollie down.Oliver, meanwhile, will try to protect his young protégé as the League of Assassins puts increasing pressure on the Emerald Archer to become the new Ra’s al Ghul—which, based on the recent promos, will soon come to fruition. Will Roy come out of this alive? And will Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) bid a special goodbye to the soon-to-be Heir to the Demon? EW caught up with executive producer Marc Guggenheim to get the scoop.

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details of tonight’s episode of Arrow.The long-rumored shakeup in Team Arrow became a reality tonight when Arrow’s sidekick Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, left Starling City.

FEELINGS!That's not the most dignified way to start a recap but it is probably the most appropriate, all-encompassing word we could come up with to describe our current state after watching tonight's episode of Arrow. That was pretty amazing. We're amazed.Tonight we bid a fond farewell to Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), who did not die, although for a minute there we totally thought he did. Instead, he headed off to start a new life, and executive producers Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim confirmed in an interview with Buzzfeed that Roy, and therefore Colton Haynes, have officially exited the show

Is This Who Caity Lotz Is Playing on the Arrow-Flash Spin-Off? https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/caity-lotz-playing-arrow-flash-spin-off-183114080.html

Little is known about the Arrow-The Flash spin-off - not even its name - but the biggest mystery plaguing fans is exactly who Caity Lotz will be playing.Lotz was the original Canary until Malcom Merlin (via Thea Queen) killed her in Arrow's Season 3 premiere. Now, new paparazzi reports and photographs suggest Lotz might be taking on a Canary role once again.Lotz was recently spotted filming with Arrow's Stephen Amell, The Flash's Grant Gustin and her spin-off co-stars Brandon Routh, Wentworth Miller, Victor Garber and Arthur Darvill. The twist: Lotz was allegedly dressed all in white. And though her role remains unconfirmed, these reports seemingly validate the popular fan theory that Lotz will be playing the White Canary.The White Canary was a minor, and originally Asian, villain of the Birds of Prey from 2010-2011. Resurrecting Sara only to have her become a villain - and one destined to be pit against her sister Laurel, the new Black Canary - seems like the best option in order to bring Lotz back into the Arrow-Flash fold after her shocking death earlier this year.As to how Sara could be brought back to life, all signs point to the Lazarus Pit - particularly since it could help explain Sara's transformation into a villain or anti-hero. According to DC mythology, the Lazarus Pit possesses the power to resurrect the dead, but its restorative waters can often lead to madness. So whether it's Oliver or Nyssa who eventually places Sara's corpse into the Pit, we doubt it will be the happy reunion they were hoping for.What do you think of Lotz potentially becoming the White Canary?

The Truth Behind That Big Arrow Exit http://www.tvguide.com/news/arrow-e...partnerid=yahoo&profileid=tv2&FTAG=YHF09b6e7d

It's true: Roy Harper has really left Starling City.On Wednesday's episode of Arrow, Roy (Colton Haynes) faked his death in prison (after posing as Arrow to take the fall for Oliver) and left town, and producers Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim confirmed to BuzzFeed that, yes, Haynes is off the show - for now.Who is going to die on Arrow?The Teen Wolf star was only ever committed to a two-year contract for the show, Berlanti says. "We did a trial thing where we said, for his sake and ours, 'We'll just do a bunch of episodes and see if you like it and if you enjoy it.' And he did," he tells BuzzFeed. "Then pilot season came up that year and before another pilot could snatch him up, we made a two-year deal, so we always knew we were on a clock."That's not to say Haynes will never return to the show. Roy will be seen in one more episode this season, and producers haven't ruled out having him make appearances on future seasons of Arrow, The Flash, or any future spin-offs."He said he wanted to be able to come back at any time and we felt the same way," Berlanti tells BuzzFeed.Will you miss Roy on Arrow?(Full disclosure: TVGuide.com is owned by CBS, one of The CW's parent companies.)

ARROW: Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim On the Future of Team Arrow http://collider.com/arrow-future-episode-plans-from-marc-guggenheim/

In “The Fallen” episode of The CW series Arrow, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) must return to Nanda Parbat when Ra’s al Ghul (Matt Nable) finally makes him an offer that he can’t refuse. With Thea’s (Willa Holland) life hanging in the balance, the team, along with Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), joins Oliver on his journey where a heartbroken Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) decides to take matters into her own hands.After a screening of the episode at the offices of The CW, executive producer Marc Guggenheim spoke with a handful of press about Colton Haynes’ departure as a series regular, that Roy Harper will return again this season, developing this version of Ra’s al Ghul, where Team Arrow will hang out now, the bond of what remains of Team Arrow, that both Deathstroke and Amanda Waller could return, Felicity’s backbone, and the finale cliffhanger. Be aware that there are some spoilers.

'Arrow' Season 3: Oliver & Felicity's 'Next Step,' Finale Mystery and 3 More Teases! https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/arrow-season-3-oliver-felicitys-140000033.html

A tectonic shift is in store for Arrow.As we approach the final four episodes of the season, things are about to look drastically different – yet again – for Oliver and Starling City. Now that Ra’s al Ghul has put Thea on the clock, the leader of the League of Assassins is about to get what he wants: Oliver. To save his dying sister, Oliver travels to Nanda Parbat to bring her back to life via the magical waters of the Lazarus Pit. In exchange, he must give up everything to join the League.ETonline was one of the lucky few to catch an early screening of this week’s Arrow, titled “The Fallen,” and we highlighted a few things you should know, including that Oliver and Felicity moment.

'Arrow' EP: Lazarus Pit "Consequences" Reverberate Into Season 4 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/arrow-ep-lazarus-pit-consequences-790470

Marc Guggenheim says Oliver's decisions in Wednesday's hour will bring changes "you will continue to see."Arrow is about to get supernatural.The much-teased Lazarus Pit will be front-and-center in Wednesday's episode, marking the first time the show will dive headfirst into DC's supernatural mythology. In the comics, Ra's al Ghul uses the Lazarus Pit to rejuvenate himself and even bring people back from the dead. In an earlier episode, he healed one of his own wounds using it.In Wednesday's hour, Oliver (Stephen Amell) must consider using the supernatural pit to revive Thea (Willa Holland), whom Ra's al Ghul (Matt Nable) brutally attacked in last week's episode. The attack was all part of Ra's' ongoing quest to get Oliver to take over his mantle and become the new leader of the League of Assassins.Even if Oliver successfully uses the pit to heal Thea's wounds, don't expect it to be a tidy resolution. Thea's father Merlyn (John Barrowman) warns in the trailer (below) that the Lazarus Pit changes people."Everything in the show has consequences, and that's something we've been consistent about," executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells The Hollywood Reporter.With four episodes left in the season, the hour sets up the year's end game, and its events reverberate much further."It's something you will continue to see not just through the end of season three, but into season four," Guggenheim says of the episode's big moves.Stay tuned to The Live Feed following Wednesday's episode for a spoiler-filled postmortem with Guggenheim. Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

New ‘Arrow’ & ‘Flash’ Posters Feature Reverse Flash & Dark Archer http://screenrant.com/arrow-flash-villains-posters-reverse-merlyn/

The CW’s shared universe superhero shows Arrow and The Flash have set up a cozy cohabitation on the network, with characters from each series paying visits to one another even outside of full-on crossover episodes. The Wondercon trailer for The Flash‘s upcoming episodes teased a few more visits from Starling City residents to come, as the show moves towards the close of its first season and Arrow finishes up season three.The marketing brains over at The CW recently played around with the overlapping nature of the two shows with a “Superhero Fight Club” promo for Arrow and the Flash, featuring a mix of heroes and villains from both shows battling it out in a cage fight at Palmer Industries, as part of Barry’s initiation into the world of superheroes. Oliver got in a little payback on Ra’s Al Ghul, Flash battled Reverse Flash, and Heat Wave developed a big ol’ crush on Firestorm.The promo was great fun and it wouldn’t be surprising if the CW ended up putting out special clips like this regularly, since it’s an excellent way to promote both shows at the same time. To prolong the hype over “Superhero Fight Club” a little longer (and continue promoting the final episodes of both show’s seasons), two new posters based on the promo have now found their way online, featuring the nemeses of both shows’ heroes.That’s Harrison Wells a.k.a. The Man in Yellow a.k.a. Reverse Flash a.k.a. Eobard Thawne striking a pose in the first image, and Malcolm Merlyn a.k.a. Dark Archer a.k.a. Al Sa-Her readying his weapon of choice in the second, with Flash, Black Canary and Arrow hanging out in the background.They might just be promotions for a promo, but these posters are still pretty cool and the idea of the Superhero Fight Club is definitely pleasing for fans who love the timeless “who would win in a a fight between…” discussions. As for what we can look forward to in the future of these shows, Barry Allen will continue to pursue the truth about Harrison Wells (with a little help from Detectives West and Lance), and Oliver Queen will face the decision of whether or not to take up Ra’s Al Ghul’s mantle in the wake of the shocking events of last week’s episode.The Flash airs Tuesdays @8PM on The CW, followed by Arrow on Wednesdays @8PM.

We knew when Ra’s Al Ghul was revealed as the main antagonist for “Arrow’s” third season that someone would take the plunge in a Lazarus Pit. Last week, Ra’s impaled Thea Queen with a sword, and this week Oliver Queen has to give himself fully to the Demon’s Head and the League of Assassins to save his sister’s life.While “The Fallen” is action-packed, with Team Arrow desperately trying to save Oliver and Thea from the League, it’s the episode’s more thoughtful moments that make it something special.

New Arrow trailer teases the Canary Cry http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/23/arrow-trailer-canary-cry

Laurel Lance is taking one more step toward becoming the Black Canary comic book fans recognize in next week’s Arrow.A new teaser trailer has debuted for the next episode, previewing Laurel’s brand new, glass-shattering ability, the Canary Cry. The Cry is a well known ability of the comic book version of the character, and is finally set to make its debut during “Al Sah-him.”Of course, Laurel actually received this newfound ability in Central City, not Starling City. As this week’s episode of The Flash revealed, Cisco lent Laurel a helping hand when she and her father, Quentin Lance, popped up on The Flash and repaired Sara Lance’s sonic device for Laurel. Watch Laurel use the Cry below, which not only brings the show a little closer to its comic roots, but is another nice example of how The CW’s pair of superhero shows can influence one another. And be sure to read about what’s in store for Team Arrow after this week’s big changes.

The relationship that the new show will forge with the existing stars and casts has yet to be determined, but fans now have a major hint.The network has now announced that is has added actor Franz Drameh (Attack the Block, Edge of Tomorrow) in what sounds like an original role – for now – with a connection to the S.T.A.R. Labs team introduced in The Flash.
