Oliver Queen, aka the Arrow (Stephen Amell).
Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) will be happy to be in on Oliver’s secret identity as the Arrow.
And may take her sister Sara (Caity Lotz)’s place on Team Arrow as the Black Canary.
And what of Olicity? Teasers, trailers and interviews suggest Oliver and IT gal Felicity Smoak will embark on a date which goes horribly wrong.
Rest of Team Arrow: Diggle (David Ramsey) will become a Dad and Roy (Colton Haynes) suits up as Arsenal.
But Oliver has lost his company Queen Consolidated to newcomer Ray Palmer, aka The Atom (Brandon Routh).
And season three’s Big Bad is coming. Ra’s al Ghul (Riddick’s Matt Nable), leader of the League of Assassins and father of Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law), shows up in the fourth episode, which is also the series 50th.

Other villains will include former A.R.G.U.S. operative Digger Harkness, aka villain Captain Boomerang (Spartacus’s Nick Tarabay), who makes an appearance in Arrow’s seventh episode leading into the eighth with the big Flash crossover.
