One of the best things about The
CW's Arrow is FINALLY making his long awaited return, as
Oliver Queen/ Green Arrow actor
Stephen Amell tweeted revealing that
Manu Bennett, aka
Slade Wilson/ Deathstroke is returning for the final leg of
Arrow Season 5!
In the tweet, Amell said "Desperate times call for desperate measures", with a picture of Slade's mask in a grassy field.
UPDATE (3/12): Manu Bennett tweeted that he isn't in the Arrow set (

How this plays into the events of Arrow Season 5 with its remaining episodes is anyone's guess, but the last time Slade was seen with Manu Bennett playing him was in the middle of Season 3. This should be a welcome return for fans, and if it is Oliver seeking his help to defeat
Promethues... That should be interesting.
Arrow Season 5 will resume its run on April 26.
