It looks like Arrow will face off against his biggest villain again. The show will bring back Slade Wilson in an upcoming episode of the current season 3, MTV reports. Manu Bennett, who portrayed the character in season 1 and 2, will reprise his role in episode #314 .

Slade, also known as Deathstroke, was last seen being imprisoned in an A.R.G.U.S. supermax prison on the island of Lian Yu. He swore that he would escape someday. It's unclear though if his upcoming appearance will be in present day or in a flashback.

"Arrow" airs Wednesdays at 8 P.M. ET on The CW. Last week, the show aired a two-part crossover that continues with "The Flash" episode aptly titled "Flash vs. Arrow" on Tuesday night, December 2.

Editors' Pick

"The Flash" itself is an "Arrow" spin-off starring Grant Gustin in the title role. The actor had appeared in several episodes of "Arrow" as Barry Allen before his superhero character gets his own TV series.
