Arrow Season 4 Casts Rutina Wesley for Multi-Episode Arc?

Arrow Season 4 is not too far away, and now we know that former True Blood and Hannibal star Rutina Wesley is set to join the cast for next year.

TheWrap reports that Wesley is in talks to join the show for a multi-episode arc in a mysterious role. Could she be a new costume in Starling City? Or is she working for Damien Darhk?

Speaking of the main villain for Season 4 played by Neal McDonough, executive producer Marc Guggenheim offered the first in-depth look at the character in a recent interview with Access Hollywood in which he revealed that Darhk is the most evil villain yet on the show.

"Damien's a different kind of villain than we've had on the show before. He's not as centurion as Ra's, he's not as looney tune as Slade, he's not as -- and people will be surprised I use this word -- but he's not as noble as Malcolm Merlyn. He's pure evil," he said. "We wanted someone who was truly, truly malevolent. We've never done that on the show before. All of our big bads always thought they were doing…the wrong thing for the right reason. This guy does the wrong thing for the wrong reasons."

The executive producer also implied that Darhk will arrive relatively quickly in Season 4. "It's a bad situation to have this guy coming in. And the other thing that we're doing that's different is in past seasons, you've had to wait 'til usually the mid-season finale to meet the big bad and have Oliver confront the big bad. We are coming out of the gate strong," he said. "We're not waiting and actually, that itself has really energized the show and it infuses even the 'villain of the week' episodes with an epic-ness that they wouldn't otherwise have."
