After news broke of the casting of Hawkgirl in the upcoming Arrow/The Flash Spin-Off series, we also found out that another new character had been cast as well. Doctor Who alum Arthur Darvill has been cast as Rip Hunter. Who is Rip Hunter? Well, he's a time traveler who's looking to get back to his original timeline. He's the character that was described as "The Traveler" when we heard previously about three new characters we hadn't yet seen on live action television.
Hawkgirl Cast In Arrow/Flash Spin-Off Series
With Arrow and The Flash beginning their runs to the season finale, we're starting to get news on casting for the spin-off series that CW has planned for next season. What do we know? We'll see Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), The Atom (Brandon Routh), and at least one half of Firestorm in the form of Doctor Martin Stein (Victor Garber). We also know that Caity Lotz will be returning in an unknown role. We also now know that the character Kendra Saunders aka Hawkgirl will be joining the super team! She'll be played by Ciara Renée, a Broadway star and recently made an appearance on Law & Order: SVU.
Arrow/Flash Spin-Off Series!
Last month Deadline reported that The CW had ordered a new series that would spin-off from both Arrow and The Flash and would incorporate at least two main characters that spawned from each series. Brandon Routh, who was introduced during the current season of Arrow as Ray Palmer aka The Atom. Victor Garber who made his debut as Doctor Martin Stein otherwise known as half of Firestorm on The Flash (No word yet if the other half, Robbie Amell, would be starring as well).
Captain Boomerang Cast...On 'Arrow!'
Well we were expecting to see the Rogues on 'Flash' eventually and one key member might be joining them soon...but first he'll be seen on 'Arrow.' Nick Tarabay (Star Trek Into Darkness, Spartacus) will portray Digger Harkness aka Captain Boomerang. He'll make his debut in the seventh episode of the season and then continue into the eighth episode which we know will be the crossover event episode with 'The Flash.'
Matt Nable Cast as Ra's al Ghul On 'Arrow'
'Arrow' Casting News
The casting news never seems to end with CW's 'Arrow.' It seems they've added another familiar DC character to guest star. Amy Gumenick (Supernatural) has been cast to play Carrie Cutter aka Cupid in episodes six and seven when 'Arrow' returns for season three. Cupid has a deadly obsession with Green Arrow in the comics, and it'll be fun to see that play out...maybe not so much for Ollie.
'Arrow' Recasts Katana
It was announced a few weeks ago that Devon Aoki would be joining the cast of Arrow for Season 3 as a recurring character. It seems that due to scheduling conflicts, she'll have to leave the show. But fear not, Katana-fans, she's already been recast by someone familiar to the comic book universe. Rila Fukushima (The Wolverine) will be replacing Aoki as Tatsu Yamashiro aka Katana. While we have no confirmation yet, I think its safe to assume we'll be seeing Tatsu in Oliver's flashbacks, but I'm hoping we also get to see her in the present time as well...perhaps fighting alongside Canary, and a fiery red-head named Barbara?
'Arrow' Casts Villain Komodo
Looks like another evil archer will be visiting the streets of Starling City. Matt Ward (TRON: Legacy, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem) has been cast to play Simon Lacroix aka Komodo. Komodo was introduced in Green Arrow's New 52 run and it looks like he'll make his first appearance on Arrow during episode two and he won't necessarily be a one-shot villain.
