Four years ago, Arrow kicked off a new era for DC superhero dramas, and the Arrowverse has expanded to include The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl. So it’s only fitting that the stars of those shows will be coming back to Arrow for its 100th episode!
Arrow star Stephen Amell has been teasing the guest stars of the 100th episode on his social media accounts this week, and he’s finally revealed that the episode will be a part of the highly anticipated four-part crossover story that will begin in Supergirl and then move through The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow.
So far, Amell has posted pics with Caity Lotz, Melissa Benoist, Franz Drameh, Victor Garber, and Grant Gustin.

Of course, one of the pics that has Arrow fans really excited is the apparent return of Oliver Queen’s greatest nemesis on the show: Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke.

Presumably Manu Bennett would reprise his role as Deathstroke from the early seasons of Arrow. And there are still some questions about how and why Deathstroke is making his comeback. Our theory is that it will play into the Legion of Doom storyline that is playing out across all four series this year. Perhaps the LoD will recruit Deathstroke to take out Oliver Queen during the crossover, which will have a showdown between the two characters in the penultimate installment of that story.
The 100th episode of Arrow is expected to air in December on The CW.
