After facing off on WWE a year ago, Stephen Amell and former wrestler Cody “Stardust” Rhodes will be reuniting, this time on Amell’s home turf, The CW’s superhero drama “Arrow.”
Amell announced that Rhoades will be guest-starring on an episode of “Arrow” when it returns for Season 5 in the fall, during a joint appearance at the Heroes & Villains FanFest Saturday.
“I step into this respectfully, humbly, and looking to do it justice for the fandom #HVFF @CW_Arrow,” Rhodes tweeted Saturday, captioning a photo of an arrow.
There’s no word yet on what character he may play. Rhodes will join fellow newcomers to the Arrowverse including Josh Segarra, who’s joining as a new series regular, and Carly Pope’s, whose addition as a journalist from Coast City has stoked speculation about the introduction of Green Lantern in recent days.
Rhodes’ induction into the Arrowverse follows fellow former WWE wrester, Adam “The Edge” Copeland, who appeared in Season 2 of “The Flash” as the villain Atom-Smasher.
“Arrow” returns for Season 5 on Wednesday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
