CW's Arrow adds Huntress to the cast!

The CW's Arrow is shaping up to have a star studded cast of heroes and villains. Previously, fans have been alerted to the castings of Torchwood's John Barrowman to play a rich philanthropist and Kelly Hu (X2: X-Men United) to play the villainess China White. Also reported to make appearance are Dinah Lance, Deadshot (Michael Rowe) and Deathstroke the Terminator. Now they have signed on Australian actress Jessica De Gouw to play the character of Huntress!

Arrow's Huntress will follow the story/background of Helena Bertinelli who is the daughter of a mob boss who has turned vigilante. The official description for the character states:

"Helena is a potential love interest for Oliver Queen; a fellow vigilante, set on destroying her father's organized crime empire. But Helena's blind pursuit of revenge will put her on a collision course with the Arrow."

De Gouw is set for a multi-episode arc, and scheduled to make her debut around episode six. Are you getting excited for Arrow? What do you think of all the casting news and heroes/villians that are being released?
