The daughter of Ra's al Ghul is coming to Starling City — but it's not exactly who you'd expect. "Spartacus" alum Katrina Law has been tapped to play Ra's al Ghul's other progeny, Nyssa al Ghul, on "Arrow", TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

On The CW series, Nyssa is a powerful member of the League of Assassins who comes to Starling City in pursuit of The Canary (Caity Lotz).



In the comics, it's revealed that Ra's al Ghul had a love child while traveling through Russia, making Nyssa the half-sister of Talia al Ghul, whom Marion Cotillard portrayed in The Dark Knight Rises. With Nyssa coming to town, it may give some credence to a popular theory that Isabel Rochev (Summer Glau) is secretly Talia — or we could just be crazy!

Law will first appear in the 13th episode of Season 2, aptly titled 'Heir to the Demon'.

Katrina Law Returns for Epic Nyssa vs. Talia al Ghul Showdown

Another familiar face is returning to "Arrow".

EW has learned exclusively that Katrina Law will reprise her role as Nyssa al Ghul for multiple episodes that culminate in an epic fight between Nyssa and her half-sister Talia al Ghul (Lexa Doig) in the upcoming season 5 finale.





Law, who currently stars on CBS’ "Training Day", first appeared in season 2, where viewers discovered that when Sara (Caity Lotz) left the island, she joined the League of Assassins and struck up a romance with Nyssa, the youngest daughter of Ra’s al Ghul (Matt Nable).

Talia, meanwhile, didn’t appear until season 5, when it was revealed that she helped train Oliver (Stephen Amell) in Russia — but she also trained his foe Prometheus (Josh Segarra) after learning that Ollie killed her father. Talia had long ago left the League to create her own cult of warriors after she realized her father would never allow her to be the Head of the Demon.





Ever since Talia’s introduction, the eventuality of an epic showdown between the pair has been highly anticipated. “They’re close enough and different enough that I would love, at some point, to do a story with Nyssa and Talia,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim previously told EW.

The news comes on the heels of Amell revealing that Manu Bennett will also be reprising his role as Slade Wilson, a.k.a. Deathstroke, for the season ender.
