There's some new information rolling in about Season 3 of "Arrow." It was already revealed that Laurel (Katie Cassidy) would be the Black Canary and now more details on her storyline were teased.
"We sort of said that Sara was the canary, but Laurel is the Black Canary. Episodes 10, 11 and 12 are a three-part trilogy that is about her. And episode 13 I think I can spoil, is called 'Canaries.' For fans of Laurel and for fans of Katie [Cassidy], they're going to get more than their fill after the winter break," executive producer Andrew Kriesberg told The Hollywood Reporter.
The episode that focuses on Laurel's superhero storyline will air in early 2015. There's also some new information about the highly anticipated crossover of "The Flash" and "Arrow" and fans will finally find out who killed Sara.
"I've always maintained that you'd find out the answer to who murdered Sara by the end of the year," said Marc Guggenheim. "That said, I will say that the S.T.A.R. LABS team is going to end up providing a critical piece of information that cracks open the whole case, but that doesn't necessarily happen in [the crossover]."
Fans won't see much of Laurel in the crossover episode, titled "The Flash vs. Arrow." Kresiberg wouldn't reveal why she's going to be absent but said that the character is "building up to her appearance as the Black Canary," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
There's also a very specific reason why producers chose to name the crossover, "The Flash vs. Arrow."
"Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and Oliver (aka Arrow) have been allies up to this point, but when Barry becomes determined to prove himself to Oliver, Barry encounters a metahuman whom 'Flash' star Grant Gustin teased 'gets in Barry's head, and he gets whammied. Barry's not himself in 'The Flash vs. Arrow.' It was really fun; I got to play a different character, essentially, who was losing his mind. Some truths come to the surface that wouldn't have otherwise, because Barry's been brainwashed, and that's the reason the fight ensues."
