Arrow Season 5: 11 New Characters You Need To Know About

2. Kovar - Dolph Lundgren

Dolph Lundgren Expendables 2
Lionsgate

The CW superhero shows have made some excellent additions to their casts during the off-season - Tom Felton in The Flash, Lynda Carter in Supergirl - but few give off a sense of excitement for what they might bring to the show quite like Dolph Lundgren in Arrow.

He's going to be the Big Bad of the flashbacks as Kovar, a member of the Russian government. Not only is he a part of the government, but he's also involved in whatever happened with Taiana's family, which will presumably be how he crosses paths with Oliver, and he's been described as a badass, which is kinda obvious really.

Will he break the Green Arrow?
