Arrow producer talks Deathstroke and The Flash

July 25th, 2014 by Marc Comments

Arrow and The Flash exec producer Andrew Kreisberg has been talking to EW about the upcoming season of Arrow and what will become of Slade ‘Deathstroke’ wilson…

“Slade had a very specific agenda,” he said, “He was out for revenge and had set up this elaborate five-year plot. What’s interesting about the villain in season three is that he doesn’t necessarily disagree with [Oliver]. He doesn’t have any personal animus towards the Arrow, and he actually in some ways has a very similar worldview. [But] the Arrow is thinking too small.”

On the much talked about crossovers between Arrow and flash, he added: “It’s really going to be an adventure with the Arrow and Flash on both episodes. Watching the two teams come together and fight alongside each other, it’s one of the most fun parts. We just don’t believe in waiting. We really believe in accelerated storytelling and especially for those first nine episodes of the season–for both shows–hopefully we’ve designed it so that none of these [make you say], ‘Well, I missed that one, it’s fine.'”

“The Flash” pilot starts on October 7th, Arrow Season 3 kicks off on October 8th.

 

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
