'Arrow' Enlists 'Medium' Star for DC Role in Season 3 (Exclusive)
2:00 PM PDT 8/4/2014 by Philiana Ng
David Cubitt has joined The CW comic-book drama as a crucial guest star.

Arrow is introducing another DC Comics character — and he'll have strong ties to Diggle.

Medium star David Cubitt, who played Detective Lee Scanlon on the CBS procedural, has landed a meaty guest role in The CW comic-book drama's third season as Mark Shaw, who becomes Manhunter, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Cubitt is slated to appear in the third episode.

Who is Mark Shaw? In the DC comics, he is one of many who take on the Manhunter name, including Kate Spencer. When the character makes his Starling City entrance, he will be an A.R.G.U.S. operative in Corto Maltese who crosses paths with Diggle. In comic lore, Mark has a connection to the Suicide Squad. There have been subtle nods to Manhunter on Arrow; in several episodes, a Starling City prosecutor district attorney named Kate Spencer played a pivotal role, before she was killed in late season two. (One of the characters who becomes Manhunter in the comics has the same name.)

English-born Canadian actor Cubitt is the latest to board the upcoming season of Arrow, which will introduce prominent DC villain Ra's al Ghul as the main bad guy.

"We have a really clever way of doing Ra's this year that is true to the comic-book origins but different from the way Ra's was portrayed in the Nolan movies. You don't want to compete with Batman Begins, even though we've always said Batman Begins was a big influence on us," Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim told a handful of reporters at Comic-Con. "We really wanted our Ra's to be very different — at least our own Arrow-ified version."

Other key additions to the season include the Atom/Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Wildcat/Ted Grant (J.R. Ramirez), Felicity's mother (Charlotte Ross), Maseo (Karl Yune), Katana (Devon Aoki) and a new Count Vertigo (Peter Stormare).

Cubitt is repped by Resolution, Kirk Talent Agencies and Open Entertainment. He recently recurred as Norma Bates' late husband on Bates Motel and has several films, including Kit Harington's Seventh Son, in post. Arrow returns Oct. 8 on The CW.
 
It's too bad we are still in the early years of Arrow, because that guy looks like he could be a great Ted Grant.
 
There goes some people's hope that Laurel would become Manhunter instead of Black Canary. I am glad they are going with one of the male versions
 
I wonder if this version of Shaw/Manhunter is related to the other Manhunter (Kate Spencer) who [BLACKOUT]died[/BLACKOUT] last season.
 
That smug face again! Let go of Felicity! :argh:
 
Yup, what I wouldn't give to trade places with Haynes in those pictures. I mean his arms are around both Emily and Willa at the same time!:argh:
 
****ing willa holland, man

girl is beautiful
 
Will Manhunter get his costume! :D


Yes!

This is my favorite Manhunter! And I love this costume, especially the mask. Who knows, maybe this show could bring in Dumas as one of Ra's Al Ghul's big time assassins.
