Arrow is almost here. The second season premieres next week. In the meantime, the CW has released a new preview for the return episode, titled "City of Heroes."
****SPOILERS**** The clip features Ollie's team, Diggs and Felicity following Oliver to the famed Lian Yu island, where he was stranded for five years. Ollie has apparently abandoned Starling City after failing to stop the destruction of the glades in the epic season one finale. After passing by the impaled Deathstroke mask, Felicity steps on an active land mine, before Ollie's literally swoops in and saves her. ****END SPOILERS****
Andrew Kreisberg, the shows executive producer recently told Access Hollywood what to expect:
“[When] he starts out the season he doesn’t want to be the vigilante anymore and by the time he comes back, he doesn’t just pick up the bow again, he decides he wants to be a hero. Last season was all about revenge and it was all very ‘Hamlet’-esque, sort of driven by the ghost of his father. … This season, he’s also driven by a ghost, but it’s the ghost of Tommy [Merlin] who died [in the Season 1 finale] not thinking the best of Oliver, this season is less about sort of atoning for his father’s sins and [more about] honoring the kind of man he wanted to be for Tommy...Last season had a very dark objective… crossing names off the list...This season, he puts the book away and it’s really about being an example and being a symbol and he’s gonna discover that that’s not so easy.”
Kreisberg also talked about Ollie's sidekick Roy Harper, (a.k.a. Speedy in the comics) portrayed by actor Colton Haynes:
''He’s dismayed to discover that Roy Harper is hell bent on being his ally whether he wants [him] to be or not, which is a really fun arc for the season because Oliver has to go from not liking Roy at all, to seeing that he’s kind of a good influence on his sister, to, ‘Oh, crap. I’ve gotta keep my sister’s boyfriend alive.’ So that’s sort of fun for him."
