'Arrow' Season 4 Premiere, Casting News, And More: Flashback Scenes To Feature DC Villain Baron Blitzkrieg

| By

"Arrow" season 4 premiere will see the return of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) to Starling City after leaving with Felicity Smoak to somewhere.

When the Emerald Archer does come back, new foes will welcome him. While the present will continue to be chaotic, the past will still play a big role in Oliver's character.

The first two seasons featured flashbacks to Oliver's life after getting stranded in an island. Season four will continue to have that storyline.

Audiences will get to know what shaped the Queen heir into becoming a vigilante. For this new season, people will meet one major villain he encountered five years ago.

The Hollywood Reporter's exclusive scoop revealed Baron Blitzkrieg has been enlisted for "Arrow" season 4 and he is someone from Ollie's past. This DC villain will be played by British actor Jimmy Akingbola.

THR wrote:

"British actor Jimmy Akingbola has nabbed the recurring role of DC Comics villain Baron Reiter - well known as Baron Blitzkrieg - on Arrow's fourth season. Akingbola will recur on the series as Baron Reiter, an adversary for Oliver, and appear in the show's prominent flashback scenes. In the comics, the character is the leader of the nefarious group Shadowspire."

In the comics, Baron is from Earth Two and is known for being the nemesis to Wonder Woman. He is a former German officer during the second World War.

He was blinded and his face was disfigured when a prisoner threw a bottle on his face. His abilities are superhuman strength, heat vision,and great fighting skills.

"Arrow" season 4 premiere episode is titled "Green Arrow." Although Oliver Queen is expected to face new villains, he also got a new ally in Mr. Terrific and will be played by Echo Kellum. John Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) will continue to be on his side while it is still doubtful whether his sister Thea (Willa Holland) will go to the dark side.

See the "Arrow" season 4 premiere on October 7 in CW Network.
