Arrow Season 6: What Producers Are Looking For In A Big Bad

We've seen a casting call that, if true, gives us an idea of who the villain (or villains) of Arrow Season 6 is going to be. Hopefully we'll get official confirmation of that tomorrow during the Arrow panel at San Diego Comic-Con. But until then, executive producer Wendy Mericle told TVLine what they are looking for:

"As usual, every season we want to try to up the stakes and do something different. This will be something we've never seen before. The villain will be hopefully as dynamic and as interesting as the ones we've had in the past. These people, or this person, won't just be somebody that's a thorn in Oliver's side, but it'll effect the whole team personally and very directly."

I think the villain from the casting call not only fits that bill, but could bring along some friends that would make a great challenge to all of team Arrow. So far its been a big bad and his henchmen, but an actual team of people could be a nice change of pace.

And what about Cayden James and Helix left over from last season?

"They are still in the wind. We don't like to leave those threads dangling."

Arrow returns on its new night and time, Thursday October 12th at 9 p.m. after Supernatural.
