Arrow: First Season 5 Photos Feature Masked Prometheus, Lotsa Russians
We don’t yet know who’s playing him, but the mystery villain Prometheus looms large in the first set of photos from Arrow Season 5.
There’s also Oliver in a suit that is neither green nor leather, a Speedy sighting and the return of frenemy Anatoly Knyazev (played by David Nykl), who is accompanied by seemingly half the population of Luchegorsk.
