While H.I.V.E. assassin Floyd "Deadshot" Lawton won't be appearing on Arrow again anytime soon, the organization that ordered him to kill John Diggle's brother Andy will apparently play a big role in Season Four, which starts in the fall, according to actor David Ramsey, who plays Diggle on the show.

"From my understanding, H.I.V.E. is going to be a big part of next season's big baddie," Ramsey told E! Online (via the Quiver podcast). "We are going to delve right into why H.I.V.E. hired Deadshot to kill Andy and what H.I.V.E. is all about to begin with. There will be a lot of Diggle's connection to H.I.V.E. next season so stay tuned."

The H.I.V.E. subplot is one that fans have been wondering about for some time, and recurring guest star Michael Rowe, who played Deadshot on the series, talked about it recently during an interview with ComicBook.com.

"You will definitely hear the name 'H.I.V.E.,'" Rowe told us of "Suicidal Tendencies," the show's March 25 episode. "As far as the potential it has is enormous. I feel like it will be explored, maybe not anytime soon. This is something that is long-term arc stuff that they've been kind of poking around and revisiting. I hope it happens sooner than later. That stuff's really interesting. Between Diggle, his brother and Deadshot, the role he plays in it, it's a really good way of bringing out some of Deadshot's truths and helping the audience understand Floyd Lawton a little bit more, which is important for me."

Arrow returns from its short hiatus on April 15.
