'Arrow' season 5 episode 7 spoilers: New vigilante emerges in Star City; Echo Kellum talks Curtis' struggles and Mr. terrific's new suit
A new vigilante enters Star City in the upcoming episode of The CW's top-rating superhero drama "Arrow" season 5.
Titled "Vigilante," next week's episode will see how the citizens react to the new vigilante in the city. According to the official synopsis for episode 7, Oliver (Stephen Amell) learns about Star City's new vigilante when the bodies of two criminals are dumped at SCPD. However, The Arrow team is divided about whether they should stop someone who is helping them keep the city safe. Diggle (David Ramsey) is frustrated with his new situation, while Thea (Willa Holland) fights for Lance (Paul Blackthorne) after he confesses a shocking secret. Meanwhile, in the flashbacks, Oliver finally gets a chance to talk to Konstantin Kovar (guest star Dolph Lundgren).
The cast and crew recently finished filming the show's milestone 100th episode in Vancouver, and it will be aired on Nov. 30. Echo Kellum, who plays Curtis Holt in the series, was present during the celebration and he talked to IGN about what's next for his character. Curtis has got a suit now but according to him, it is just a prototype and will eventually be changed. Aside from the new costume for Mr. Terrific, Kellum teased some big challenges coming Curtis' way as the story moves forward.
"It's going to be tough for him. It's not going to be a cakewalk," the actor hinted. "... You're really going to see him struggle with that but I think it's really going to pay off when you see him finally start to succeed, and his determination, and the smarts and his athleticism is really going to start coming into play. You see him start kicking ass. I'm really excited. And then the final Mr. Terrific suit is mint."
