If today’s news thatArrowhas brought onEcho Kellumto playMr. TerrificinSeason 4wasn’t enough for you, then you’re in luck, becauseComic Book Resourcesis reporting that Alexander Calvert has come aboard to play Anarky. In related news, anotherDC Comicsseries, Fox’sGotham, has hired Natalie Alyn Lind to play Silver St. Cloud. Alexander Calvert will make his debut as Anarky in the second episode of Arrow Season 4, but it isn’t known when we will first see Silver St. Cloud onGotham.
Arrowexecutive producerGeoff Johnsconfirmed atComic-Conlast week that both Mr. Terrific andAnarkywill be featured this season, withDamien Dahrk(Neal McDonough) set as the primary villain. Anarky, a.k.a. Lonnie Machlin, is described as a, “deranged freelancing criminal who is willing to do whatever it takes to impress a potential employer.” Who his “potential employer” may be is uncertain at this point. Alexander Calvert will have a recurring role as Anarky, although it isn’t known how many episodes he has signed on for. Production just started this week on the new season, so very little is known about the story at this point.
The show’s producers also revealed the new costumes that will be worn by Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) atComic-Conlast week. We reported yesterday that Constantine (Matt Ryan) may be popping up during this new season, but nothing is set in stone at this time. Alexander Calvert most recently had guest-starring arcs on The Returned andBates Motel.
As forGotham,Entertainment Weeklyreports that Natalie Alyn Lind’s Silver St. Cloud will become a new love interest for Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz). Her character is described as an “ethereal beauty,” with “pristine manners,” who, like Bruce, also lost both of her parents at a young age. Silver is the niece of Theo Galavan (James Frain), a billionaire who is running for Mayor who becomes a father figure to Bruce, although Silver has nefarious plans in store.
Natalie Alyn Lind joins another new addition to the cast,Jessica Lucasas Tabitha Galivan, a.k.a. Tigress, Theo’s sister. We have also seen in recent photos from the set thatCameron Monaghanis returning as The Joker. Natalie Alyn Lind is best known for playing Dana Caldwell on ABC’sThe Goldbergs, which returns forSeason 3this fall. What do you think about these new casting additions forArrowandGotham?
