Spartacus fan favorite Manu Bennett has been cast on Arrow, EW reports.
Bennett, who plays Crixus, Spartacus’ contentious “right-hand-man” on the popular action series will join Arrow as the villain Slade Wilson in a multiple-episode arc.
Arrow has been doing a good job of incorporating characters that fans of the Green Arrow comic and DC universe in general will both recognize and want to see on the show. This week saw the introduction of Jessica De Gouw as The Huntress, we’ve already seen Royal Flush Gang and Deadshot make appearances and of course Dinah Laurel Lance and Tommy Merlyn are series regulars.
Another actor already depicted a masked Deathstroke in a flashback, so it is unclear when Bennett’s Slade Wilson will become the villain. The only comment that Network sources have made is: “You’ll just have to keep watching Arrow.”
All we know right now is that, “as seen in flashbacks, Slade Wilson and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) will form an uneasy alliance on the island of Lian Yu.”
Bennett can also be seen in the upcoming series finale of Spartacus and as an orc chieftain in The Hobbit.
Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8PM on The CW.
