"Arrow‘s" flash-forward family is expanding: Charlie Barnett (Chicago Fire) has joined the CW drama’s eighth and final season in the series-regular role of John Diggle, Jr., aka J.J., it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
The adult version of John Diggle and Lyla Michaels’ biological son has thus far only been mentioned in the 2040 Star City timeline, where he is the leader of the Deathstroke gang. He and his adopted brother Connor Hawke, who is an agent of Knightwatch, have a fractured relationship that will pit them against each other.
J.J. has “a bit of an edge to him,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim shared at the show’s panel, adding that viewers “are going to be really surprised about the way we bring him in…and particularly what costume he wears.”
