CW has just announced that Michael Jai White will be guest starring in season two of the hit show, “Arrow.”
Michael Jai White will play Ben Turner, a claw-wielding assassin better known as Bronze Tiger, who’s well known to DC Comics fans as a member of both the League of Assassins and the Suicide Squad. On “Arrow,” he’ll form an unholy alliance with fan-favorite villain China White (played by Kelly Hu), who also plays a well-established character in the DC Comics universe.
“Arrow” stars Stephen Amell as the title role, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, Manu Bennett as Slade Wilson, Colton Haynes as Roy Harper, Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak, Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen, and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance. The show airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
This is a good move for Arrow and DC comics as a whole. The Bronze Tiger is a master of martial arts and DC's own super spy. If they do this right the best original African American character from DC could become a house hold name; a major contender in the genre and maybe even more.
Finally showcasing other characters..good look.
