Arrow To Have Dolph Lundgren-Centric Episode
Arrow has been going back to its roots in Season 05, with numerous ties back to Season 01 of the series, and having much more grounded stories in the flashbacks. In fact, with this being the final year for the flashbacks, as Oliver Queen was on the “island” for 5 years, and one year is shown in each season, the team behind Arrow are trying to make sure it goes out with a bang.
A big reason this is working is because it’s focused on the Russian Bratva storyline, where Oliver became a Captain in their ranks. He’s not there yet, but he will be. To do so though, and to fulfill a promise, he must take out a man named Konstantin Kovar, played by legendary actor Dolph Lundgren.
Lundgren has done a very good job as Kovar, and fans have responded well to him. So much so that they want more of Kovar. Thankfully, Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim has revealed that there will be a flashback centric episode that is focused on Kovar:
“Russia is very much in the zeitgeist these days, and coming into the back half of the year, we’re doing a lot more with Russia,” Guggenheim told ComicBook.com. “We’re going to do a Russia-centric episode, a flashback-centric episode like we did in the first three years of the show. We’ll be doing that later on in the season and that will have Dolph Lundgren’s character, Konstantin Kovar, very much front and center.”
