Fans got their first look at the new Team Arrow inArrowSeason 5 in theComic-Con trailerthat was unveiled during the show’s panel. The footage offered our first look at new heroes such as Wild Dog (Rick Gonzalez), Artemis (Madison McLaughlinand the new villain Prometheus, but today we have a new look at Wild Dog and Artemis in action through new photos from the Vancouver set. The photos reveal both Wild Dog and Artemis in their full superhero costumes, along with Mr. Terrific (Echo Kellum).
These photos, posted byTwitteruser PUNKD_Images, features our first look at Mr. Terrific in costume. You may recall thatEcho Kellumteased in an interview this summer that he definitely wants to suit up as Mr. Terrific this season, after being introduced as Curtis Holt in Season 4. The character was often seen last season using his high-tech weapon known as the T-Sphere, but we don’t know for sure if that will be used in Season 5.
The Wild Dog and Mr. Terrific costumes look to be quite accurate to their comic book counterparts, but the Artemis costume looks quite different. Regardless, all of these new heroes are seen teaming up withArrow(Stephen Amell) himself, but we don’t get a glimpse at who they are preparing to battle. It’s possible that these heroes could be squaring off with this season’s new primary villain,Prometheus, who we recently saw in new photos.
