Arrow has cast yet another major role.

With John Barrowman debuting this past week as Tommy's father and Seth Gabel set to come on board as a villain based on the comic book character Vertigo, Entertainment Weekly now confirms that Manu Bennett has signed on as Slade Wilson.

Wilson will portray Deathstroke, who viewers have already seen (masked) on the island of Lian Yu. When will his transform from Wilson into this well-known adversary for Stephen Amell's hooded vigilante?

"You’ll just have to keep watching Arrow," a series insider tells EW.

Okay, fine. Twist our arm.

Bennett is best known for his run on Spartacus. He will appear on multiple Arrow Season 1 episodes.
