See promotional video for next week’s episode of The Arrow

 

The CW has released the first promo for next week’s episode of Arrow, and in it, we get a much better idea of what the villainous Prometheus is up to. However, despite sharing a name with a Justice League villain, this version of the character is something new, so we still don’t know who he is or what his end goal is beyond destroying the Green Arrow.

It’s been said that he’s someone from the vigilante’s past though, and speculation is running rampant that he could be a resurrected Tommy Merlyn. After all, he died furious with his best friend because he was secretly a killer, so it might make sense that he’s now taking out people from the vigilante’s past in order to somehow spite him.

Here’s the official synopsis.

When Prometheus ups his killing spree, Oliver searches for connections between the victims. Felicity and Curtis discover the victims have a mysterious link to Oliver’s past and this new secret could upend his new team. Meanwhile, Thea has a heart-to-heart with Lance, and Felicity considers telling Malone the truth about her work. John Behring directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle and Brian Ford Sullivan.
