Arrow casts Firefly; new promo featuring Deathstroke

The CW's latest superhero series Arrow is now four episodes into its run and continues to perform well in the ratings, with last night's episode pulling in just short of 3.5 million viewers across the pond, and as the show begins to find its stride, the producers continue to build on their stable of supporting characters from the pages of DC Comics. According to EW, the latest name to join the cast is Andrew Dunbar (Battlestar Galactica: Razor, SGU Stargate Universe), with the actor set to appear in the tenth episode 'Burned' as Firefly, the pyromaniacal villain best known to fans of The Dark Knight. 

So far we've seen Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen coming up against China White (Kelly Hu) and Deadshot (Michael Rowe), while the next couple of episodes will introduce several new villains, with Deathstroke (Jeffrey Robinson) making his debut in next week's episode alongside John Barrowman's mysterious 'Well Dressed Man', and the Royal Flush Gang arriving in Starling City in episode six, which will also see the first appearance of another masked vigilante, The Huntress (Jessica De Gouw).

Here's an extended promo for the upcomig fifth episode, 'Damaged', followed by the official synopsis:


"After Detective Lance (Paul Blackthorne) arrests Oliver (Stephen Amell) for murder, Oliver tells Moira (Susanna Thompson) the only lawyer he’ll allow to represent him is Laurel (Katie Cassidy). Laurel takes the case which puts her at odds with her father. Oliver offers to take a polygraph in front Detective Lance but things get tense when Lance asks him if anyone else was on the island with him. Oliver flashes back to when he got his first scar, courtesy of Deathstroke (guest star Jeffrey Robinson). Colin Donnell, David Ramsey and Willa Holland also star. Michael Shultz directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Ben Sokolowski."
