Nivea from Spartacus cast as Amanda Waller!

On the heels of the recent reveal that Amanda Waller is coming to Arrow, we now know the actress playing her: Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

TVGuide has the news of Addai-Robinson's casting, revealing the actress will play the DC Comics character, known for running the Suicide Squad. We'll be getting the Suicide Squad on Arrow this season as well, as recurring villain Deadshot (Michael Rowe) will ally himself with the Bronze Tiger, who will be introduced in Season 2, played by Spawn's Michael Jai White.

Addai-Robinson is best known for her role as Naevia on Spartacus, which ended its run earlier this year. Her casting confirms that Arrow will be basing Waller on the recent New 52 version of the character from the comics - until a couple of years ago, Waller had been portrayed as an older, heavyset woman. The Arrow producers must be Spartacus fans, as Addai-Robinson will join her fellow Spartacus alum Manu Bennett on the series, who plays Slade Wilson.

On Arrow, Waller will also connect to the show bringing in the organization A.R.G.U.S., as The Flash's upcoming introduction will bring superpowers to the series. We'll meet Amanda Waller in episode six of Arrow: Season 2.

They just are intent on keeping Waller skinny and hot, huh?
I was hoping they'd go back to old school Waller and cast CCH Pounder (who did the voice on the Justice League cartoon).

There is also a new Season 2 promo out:

Grant Gustin Cast as The Flash in Arrow!

The news came just after Comic-Con this year that The CW was considering developing a spinoff to their hit series "Arrow," focusing on another DC character, the Flash. Today it appears that they've found their leading man in Grant Gustin. Best known for guest starring in a few episodes of "Glee," Gustin will take on the role of Barry Allen in the series.

"I’m unbelievably excited," Gustin told The Hollywood Reporter. "I’ve been a lifelong fan of DC Comics, so I can’t be more honored and can’t wait to get started."

Gustin will appear as the character in the upcoming eighth, ninth, and 20th episodes of the new season of "Arrow," the last of which will serve as a potential backdoor pilot for his own series. The character will begin his appearances simply as a forensic scientist and will later gain his superspeed powers. Production on Gustin's debut episode is set to begin at the end of the month in Vancouver.

"Arrow" season 2 premieres on Wednesday, October 9th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Arrow Scoop: Glee's Grant Gustin Tapped to Play the Flash!

The CW has found its Flash.

Glee's Grant Gustin has landed the role of Flash alter egoBarry Allen, who will appear on Arrow before possibly heading up his own spin-off, TVGuide.com has learned.

The CW developing Arrow spin-off to feature the Flash

In the world of Arrow, Barry is a Central City assistant police forensic investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. A comic book fan boy, Barry is obsessed with the Arrow but unaware that working with Oliver and Felicity to solve the crime has brought him right into the dangerous world of the vigilante.

Barry will first appear in Episodes 8 and 9 of the second season of Arrow before the backdoor pilot for the potential spin-off airs as Episode 20, all of which will be written by Arrow executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg as well as DC Entertainment's Geoff Johns. The first two episodes will bring Barry to Starling City, while the latter will be a bigger introduction into the world of Flash.

Barry Allen's arrival on Arrow will eventually usher in the age of superpowers, which have so far been excluded from the series as the producers strived to keep everything grounded in reality. "When we first meet Barry Allen, he's just a forensic scientist working forCentral City Police Department," Kreisberg said in July. "He's just an ordinary man when we meet him. As we always do on Arrow, we're trying to keep it grounded and realistic as possible. That is the way the audience will be introduced to Barry and get to know him before life gets a little bit faster."

In comparison to Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), Barry is not a dark and tortured soul. "It'll be fun to see these two characters together because they both have distinctly different world views, while both caring very deeply about right and wrong," Kreisberg said, adding that Barry will have a profound impact on Oliver's life as he embarks on his new mission to become a hero rather than just a vigilante.

Gustin is well-known for his role as the scheming Sebastian Smythe of the Warblers on Glee and Campbell Price on the final season of 90210. He joins a long list of guest stars in the upcoming second season, including Summer Glau, Michael Jai White, Kevin Alejandro, Caity Lotz, Bex Taylor-Klaus and Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

Berlanti, Kreisberg and Johns will executive-produce the potential Flash spin-off. David Nutter, who helmed the Arrow pilot, has signed on to direct the backdoor pilot. Marc Guggenheim, also an executive producer on Arrow, will not be involved with Flash.

With Flash, the network has now assembled two of the main seven members of the Justice League, including Green Arrow from the flagship series. Last year, the network developed a Wonder Woman origin series, which would've been called Amazon, but the project is currently on hold. The CW was also the home to Clark Kent's Superman, though Smallville and Arrow do not hail from the same universe since the Green Arrow was played by Justin Hartley on the former series.

Should Flash move forward, it would be the third spin-off for the network. The Vampire Diaries is launching the new series The Originals this season, while a backdoor pilot is being developed to spin off the long-running Supernatural.

Arrow returns Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 8/7c on The CW.
