Arrow Season 5: Extended Can't Be Stopped Trailer Released

Yesterday, Arrow kicked off its fifth season, and today, The CW has dropped a new extended trailer, titled "Can't Be Stopped," and it previews whats to come this season.

For me, the most important aspect of this trailer is that we see Oliver Queen assembling and training Team Arrow 2.0, which includes Wild Dog (Rick Gonzalez), Artemis (Madison Mclaughlin), Mr. Terrific (Echo Kellum) and apparently ... Prometheus, this season's mysterious masked villain.

In the trailer, it looks like Wild Dog and Artemis are headed off on a training mission with Prometheus walking alongside them. Executive Producer Wendy Mericle said Promtheus would come at Oliver in a really "interesting, sociopathic kind of way." With that in mind, it fits the sociopathic-bill to have Prometheus pretend to be a vigilante in order to get recruited by Oliver and make his revenge-filled plan even more devious.

SUIT UP — Oliver's (Stephen Amell) new recruits for Team Arrow are Curtis (Echo Kellum), Wild Dog (guest star Rick Gonzalez) and Evelyn Sharp (guest star Madison McLaughlin). Unfortunately, the Green Arrow's training methods prove to be too much for some of them to handle. Meanwhile, in the flashbacks, Oliver's initiation into the Bratva continues.

"The Recruit" was directed by James Bamford and written by Speed Weed and Beth Schwartz.

Newly appointed Mayor Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With Diggle (David Ramsey) back in the military and Thea adamant about hanging up her hood as Speedy (Willa Holland), Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) – but they're no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green Arrow's public defeat of Damien Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.

Based on the characters from DC, ARROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (The Flash, Supergirl), Marc Guggenheim (Eli Stone, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters), Andrew Kreisberg (The Flash, Supergirl), Wendy Mericle (Desperate Housewives, Eli Stone) and Sarah Schechter (Supergirl, Blindspot).

Arrow's back to defend Star City Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
