Producers of The CW hit Arrow are adding another DC comics icon to the hit series! TV Guide reports Colton Haynes of MTV’s Teen Wolf will join the series as Roy Harper. Green Arrow fans know Harper is Ollie’s sidekick Speedy. The young marksmen was created in 1941 and in the 1970’s became a drug addict and source of frustration for his mentor. Harper grew up to become Arsenal of the Titans and went by the code name Red Arrow as a member of the Justice League.
In the DC Comics New 52 Harper is using the code name Arsenal again as a member of Red Hood and the Outlaws.
On Arrow Harper will be a love interest for Thea (Willa Holland) who goes by Speedy on the series.
Did producers hit the bullseye on this casting? Should be go by Speedy or skip to Arsenal?
