Devon Aoki Joins Season Three Of ARROW As 'Tatsu Yamashiro/Katana'

 

Deadline reports that 2 Fast 2 Furious and War star Devon Aoki has landed what is described as a "major recurring guest role" in the highly anticipated third season of Arrow. She will play Tatsu Yamashiro, a character that they describe as a , "Japanese martial arts expert who wields a deadly sword, a blade from which her codename Katana is derived." Apparently, Tatsu will be one of Oliver's mentors in his flashbacks now that the action has shifted from the island to Hong Kong, and her appearance will have a, "critical influence on his journey to eventually become The Arrow of present day."

Devon Aoki was also 'deadly little Miho' in Sin City, so he's used to playing with swords.

Karl Yune To Play 'Maseo Yamashiro' In Season Three Of ARROW

According to TVLine, Karl Yune (Memoirs of a Geisha) has landed the role of Maseo Yamashiro in the highly anticipated third season of The CW's Arrow.

The site reveals that he will be introduced in the series through Oliver Queen's flashbacks as the vigilante's handler. However, over time, their relationship will evolve to the point when Maseo becomes a friend and mentor to Ollie, helping him to become the current day hero he is in Starling City.

In the comic books, Maseo is the husband of Tatsu Yamashiro, better known as Katana (who it was revealed yesterday will be played by Sin City actress Devon Aoki). Like his wife, he's also a skilled martial artist.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the flashbacks with a new cast of characters and a very different setting, but with the island now fully explored, it should help keep fans interested in learning more about The Arrow's five years away from Starling City.

?Arrow? Season 3 Casts Peter Stormare as the New Count Vertigo?

Via TVGuide, Stormare will take the role of Werner Zytle, another alias of Count Vertigo from the New 52 DC Comics. Where Seth Gabel?s version called himself ?The Count,? Stormare will instead go by ?Vertigo? in taking over distribution of his namesake?s drug, becoming the first ?Arrow? season 3 villain Oliver faces.

Season 2 viewers will recall that Gabel briefly returned as ?The Count,? only for Oliver to knock him out a window to his death, curiously side-stepping that whole ?no killing? rule he?d assigned himself.

Dubbed ?Seth? in the original casting call, Stormare marks the first season 3 role confirmed for Oliver Queen?s present, as the DC drama most recently added ?Real Steel? star Karl Yune as Oliver?s Hong Kong handler, along with ?Sin City? star Devon Aoki as comic character Katana. Still uncast is the role of young tech magnate ?Daniel,? speculated by many to be that of DC superhero Blue Beetle.

Brandon Routh Joins ARROW As 'The Atom'

 

Brandon Routh is set to play another DC Comics super man ? this time on Arrow. The erstwhile Man of Steel is joining the CW hit?s third season in the recurring role of Ray Palmer, aka DC superhero The Atom, TVLine has learned exclusively. An unparalleled scientist and inventor, Ray will play an unexpected role in the lives of Oliver and (rumored love interest) Felicity as the new owner of Queen Consolidated. Palmer?s plans for Queen Consolidated?s Applied Sciences Division will be shrouded in mystery.

[DocM]

An ally of HawkMan. Marvel's Hank Pym/Ant-Man was somewhat an analog of Atom, who came out in in 1940. The Ray Palmer version came out in 1961 - a year ahead of Ant-Man.

Sypnosis

In the aftermath of this victory, Season Three opens with Arrow now a hero to the citizens of Starling. Crime is down, people feel safer, and Captain Lance even calls off the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Basking in his success, Oliver believes he can finally have a private life and asks Felicity out on a date. But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball, a deadly villain reappears in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen ? not as long as the city needs The Arrow.

This show has so exceeded expectations it gives hope for later DC efforts. REALLY looking forward to Flash and Gotham.

Echoing that which series lead Stephen Amell shared with TVLine at the may Upfronts, the Arrow EP said that the next Big Bad will ?feel different? from Season 2?s Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke. That said, the incoming adversary ?has some personal elements of connectivity to Oliver, which we?ll learn about? ? in part via flashbacks, Berlanti allowed. ?Hopefully, fans of the DC Universe will be really pleased by who it is.?

 

Speaking of the show?s flashback device, Berlanti said that Season 3 will ?not just flash back from Oliver?s perspective.? As the hit drama has done on rare occasion with the likes of Laurel and Diggle, ?There?s some backstory stuff that?s going to come out for some of the other characters.?

Geoff Johns Clarifies DC Movie/TV Universe Connection; "You Won't See Batman Or Superman"

As Arrow continues to get more and more popular, and The Flash gets his own series, fans have been desperate to know whether the movie and television DC universes are one and the same. There have been hints that they both are and are not in the recent past, though Geoff Johns made it clear once and for all today that they are very much their own thing. "You'll see a lot of DC universe characters [on The Flash and Arrow]. You won't see Batman or Superman. We're on production on Batman V Superman now. So you'll see characters like The Atom or Firestorm, but no not Batman or Superman right now [on TV]." That makes sense, but Smallville aired when Superman Return was released, so why not? Well, Johns is referring to the Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck versions of these characters, and went on to definitively state that we won't see the two worlds collide anytime soon. "It's a separate universe than film so that the filmmakers can tell the story that's best for film. While we explore something different in a different corner of the DC universe. We will not be integrating the film and television universes."

That looks fantastic! I'm glad that it looks totally different than Green Arrow's suit!
