ARROW Finds Its Ra's al Ghul
Some of you might be disappointed to hear that Liam Neeson will not reprise his role as Ra's al Ghul in Arrow even though he recently told MTV that he'd gladly play the character again. When asked if he’d reprise the character he gave an overwhelmingly positive answer.
"I would, in a heartbeat, if it came my way, yeah. Very much so."
The CW didn't take advantage of that opportunity, though. Instead they cast an actor by the name of Matt Nable. He's a rugby player who became an actor, and he's starred in films such as Riddick and Killer Elite. The news was announced by the show's star Stephen Amell.
Ra's al Ghul was teased for the first time for Arrow at San Diego Comic-Con in July. You can see that tease here.
Arrow is a great series, and it's fun to watch the story and characters expand. It will be interesting to see how they utilize this villainous character in the story they are telling.
