Oliver's (Stephen Amell) new secret might be revealed in the upcoming episode of The CW's superhero drama "Arrow" season 5.

Titled "So It Begins," next week's episode will see things kick into high gear. according to the official synopsis for episode 6, Prometheus targets more people in his killing spree, forcing Oliver to search for any pattern or connection between them.

Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Curtis (Echo Kellum) eventually find out that the victims have a mysterious link to Oliver's past and this new revelation puts his team in danger. Thea (Willa Holland) gets a chance to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lance (Paul Blackthorne), while Felicity considers telling her new boyfriend Malone (guest star Tyler Ritter) the truth about the nature of her work.

Dolph Lundgren is also set to debut in the show as Kovar in the upcoming episode. The actor was originally set to appear in just three episodes, but in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly's Spoiler Room segment, executive producer Marc Guggenheim revealed that his involvement in the show was extended. Guggenheim added that similar to the previous villains they have had in the program, Kovar thinks he is doing the right thing.

"Dolph brings so much presence. He really holds the screen incredibly well. It's an enormous amount of fun to see him and Stephen [Amell] in scenes together," the EP told the publication. "Kovar is very much a villain certainly in the Arrow vein, which is to say he's pretty badass, he's pretty evil, but he, of course, does not think of himself as such... What is interesting about Kovar is he has a mix of intelligence and physical presence that we haven't necessarily seen. He's physically bigger than a lot of our villains that we've had in the past."

Catch all-new episodes of "Arrow" season 5 which airs every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
