Manu Bennett Will Return As Deathstroke In Arrow Season 5 And 6

Manu Bennett briefly reprised the role in season 3 during an unimpressive episode which saw the villain humiliated by Oliver Queen and his sister Thea and the actor hasn’t hesitated to criticize both that appearance and Arrow as a whole ever since. As a result, most fans assumed we’d never get to see him in the series again, especially when a stand-in who was never unmasked or spoke was used in the 100th episode.

Well, things have taken an interesting turn today, as Stephen Amell has taken to Twitter to confirm that Bennett is going to reprise the role in the near future. Speculation says he’s referring to the finale and that Deathstroke will help the Green Arrow take down Prometheus, but it’s possible he could return in season 6, instead.
