Captain Jack Harkness will team up with the Green Arrow!

John Barrowman, who fans will recognize from the BBC's sci-fi shows Doctor Who and Torchwood as Captain Jack Harkness, is heading to the CW's new show Arrow. It has been revealed by Entertainment Weekly that Barrowman has landed a recurring role for the first season of the show.

Although the details on his character are scarce, we do know that the character is "an acquaintance of the Queen family," and is described as a, "well-dressed man" who is "as mysterious as he is wealthy. With all that money and power, he's one of the most prominent figures in Starling City."

With this description one would think that the character is Philanthropist Stanley Dover Sr. but it is still too soon to tell. According to wikipedia, Dover is,

"A seemingly kindly, wealthy philanthropist that discovered a reborn Oliver Queen and offered him assistance in his mission as Green Arrow. However, Dover was in reality a demon-worshiper known to the public as the Star City Slayer that sought Queen's soulless body as a new vessel for himself."

What do you think about John Barrowman joining the cast of Arrow? Do you think Barrowman will bring Arrow fans? And how do you think this may impact the future of any more Torchwood seasons?

Arrow debuts on the CW on Wednesday, October 10th.
