The saying goes, you can’t keep a good man down. And on The CW’s "Arrow", it may be the case that the truly bad dudes are even more resilient.

As speculated at this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con — given the talent RSVP list for the sophomore superhero drama’s panel discussion — John Barrowman is set to reprise his role as Malcolm Merlyn aka The Dark Archer sometime during Season 2, TVLine can confirm.

A spokesperson for The CW would not say in what form Malcolm, who in the finale was last seen having an arrow thrust through his chest by The Hood, will resurface — in a dream (OK, nightmare) sequence, flashback, as a “ghost” or in the big, bad flesh — but TVLine hears the character will appear in at least two episodes.





In other exciting "Arrow" casting news, ScreenCrush.com is reporting that "Dawson’s Creek" alum Dylan Neal will appear in at least four episodes as DC Comics’ Dr. Anthony Ivo, a ruthless scientist who will play a part in Oliver’s next batch of island flashbacks.
