With Nyssa al Ghul having last been seen over an entire season ago on Arrow, many fans are hoping for the character’s return, if only to settle the score between her and sister Talia.
It might be some time before we see the product of the League of Assassins again on the CW, seeing as Katrina Law recently took up a key role in CBS’s Training Day series, but in a recent interview ComicBook.com on the live show ComicBook Now, Law addressed the possibilities of her character’s future in the Arrow-verse.

“I am not allowed to tell you anything under the threat of death from Marc Guggenheim,” Law said, to preface all of the details she was about to spill.
“When I found out they were casting Talia, I e-mailed Marc and I was like, ‘Please, please let us have a sister showdown!’” Law said. “Because my inner nerd was just kind of exploding because if it’s anything like the comics I know that my character basically kills Talia 50 times and just keeps dumping into the Lazarus pit so she can keep brining her back and get her onto her evil ways. I don’t think that’s gonna happen in Arrow the television series but one can always hope. But, if not, if not a contentious relationship, then maybe one where we’re like standing back to back shooting arrows. That’d be pretty cool.”
However, a return on Arrow may not be as fitting as a return to the Arrow-verse via Legends of Tomorrow. Given the relationship Nyssa developed with Sara, the more pressing issue fans are hoping to see is a future (or past) between the two tough ladies. Law is completely on board for a time traveling adventure.
“I think a Legends of Tomorrow appearance should be mandatory!” Law said. “That’s what I’m thinking because we need Sara and Nyssa. We need the Nyssara backstory of how they met on Liam Yu and how she trained her and basically how she found her on the streets and what the introduction to Ra’s al Ghul was like and eventually how they fell in love, I think people want to see that. I want to see that. Hopefully, one day. Again, I have no idea, but fingers crossed. That’s the wishlist.”
For now, you’ll have to keep up with Law as Detective Rebecca Lee on Training Day following its premiere on CBS on February 2 at 10 pm ET.
