The CW’s Arrow announced the arrival of another character this week and it’s a big one. Not only is it a classic DC Comics character, but Stephen Amell’s hero is getting a possible love interest!
Intended for a multi-episode arc in the highly anticipated fall action series, The Huntress will be played by Australian actress Jessica De Gouw.
Australian actress Jessica De Gouw will be playing The Huntress
The Huntress, introduced in 1947, is the star of her own series and like so many other superheroes, there’s been a few different takes on her storylines. Arrow will have a modern-day version who goes by the name of Helena Bertinelli, the daughter of a mafia boss who vows revenge after her family is murdered.
The official character description: “Helena is a potential love interest for Oliver Queen; a fellow vigilante, set on destroying her father’s organized crime empire. But Helena’s blind pursuit of revenge will put her on a collision course with the Arrow.”
Sources say for viewers to expect The Huntress to show up around episode six.
Arrow also acquired John Barrowman for an undisclosed role. While the Huntress is now confirmed, rumors are also floating about including Batman and Firestorm on the show.
Arrow premieres Wednesday, October 10th.

About Liz Long
Liz Long has a weather anchor name with a superhero spirit. She is an aspiring writer, an avid TV watcher, blogger, a comic book superhero, and a really big nerd. Don't ever speak negatively of Harrison Ford around her or she'll pour water over your head. She has undying love for Indiana Jones, still talks about Harry Potter like it's not over, and reads way too many paranormal/YA books. She also has an irrational fear of a zombie apocalypse (please don't use that against her or you'll probably lose an appendage).
