ARROW at SDCC: Paul Blackthorne & Wendy Mericle Interviews

Arrow stars share Season 5 details at San Diego Comic-Con International!

The cast and crew of The CW’s Arrow spoke with The Fandom and other members of the press at San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend. They talk about what we can expect in Season 5!

Paul Blackthorne talks about playing Lance and all the challenges he’s had to deal with, the obvious foreshadowing of Laurel’s death, and what’s to come next season. We can look forward to Lance’s involvement with the new vigilantes in town and he’ll be working with characters he doesn’t usually work with next season!

Executive producer Wendy Mericle talks how Flashpoint will affect Arrow, John Barrowman’s role across all the DC television series, and the difficult decisions of killing of certain characters. She also confirms we will see the end of Oliver’s flashbacks by the end of Season 5.

Arrow returns for Season 5 on Wednesday, October 5th at 8pm on The CW.
