Stephen Amell Wants Deathstroke To Return To Arrow

Slade Wilson/Deathstroke -- portrayed by Manu Bennett -- was a big part of the first two seasons of Arrow, but he was reduced to a sole appearance in the third season. Last time we saw him, he was imprisoned in an A.R.G.U.S. supermax prison on Lian Yu island. Could we see him again?

"Manu is a character, and Manu played a great character," Stephen Amell said during a panel at the Heroes and Villains Fan Fest in New Jersey this weekend. "And I really honest think that Arrow has been missing something since he hasn't been around. I really do. He was a transformative villain. I would really love it if Deathstroke could keep being a part of the Arrow universe."

Listen to Amell's comments in the video below.

Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8PM on The CW.
