Making the jump from Marvel to DC, actor Will Traval - who played Will Simpson on Netflix's Jessica Jones - is coming to Arrow as Christopher Chance, otherwise known as the Human Target.

The character has appeared in various different comics, working as a PI and a bodyguard, and it's the latter that'll be used in Arrow as he works as the bodyguard for new mayor of Star City, Oliver Queen. He's also described as a master of disguise, who takes on the identity of assassination targets, meaning we should see him pretending to be Oliver at some point - though in this line of work, he may not be around too long.
