'The Flash' Season 2 SPOILERS: Is Megalyn Echikunwoke's Vixen Coming To Central City?
The fifteenth episode of Arrow Season 4 featured the debut of Megalyn Echikunwoke as the live-action version of DC femme fatale Vixen, a character that she has previously voiced in her own CW Seed animated series. Mari McCabe has proven to be an important ally to Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen, but is it possible that Vixen will also work with Grant Gustin's Barry Allen in The Flash?
ComicBook.com recently spoke to Echikunwoke, where she was asked if her character will meet Carlos Valdes' Vibe. The actress had a hopeful response that Cisco and Mari might actually work together.
"There is a possibility," Echikunwoke said, although she was quick to point out that it does not necessarily mean that Vixen is guaranteed to make an appearance in the show.
"There's nothing in stone, but potentially anything's possible," she said.
In addition to the possibility of being on The Flash, Echikunwoke shared that Mari has the potential of making an appearance in other shows as well.
"I think Vixen could go anywhere, which is one of the cool things about her character; she's friends with everyone at school, you know?" she said. "She's in almost every group."
Vixen's introduction in "Taken" was truly interesting, and she had even told Oliver that he can call her anytime, that he needed her. Hopefully, Green Arrow will bring Vixen to Central City to help Barry out in the future.
It certainly seems like time for Barry to seek Oliver's help. After all, the Green Arrow has successfully defeated Damian Darhk (Neal McDonough) and would have some time in his hands. That is, if he manages to stop Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) from leaving him.
The fourth season of Arrow airs on The CW every Wednesday night while the second season of The Flash airs every Tuesday.
