Colton Haynes Will Star As Speedy In Arrow

The CW's Arrow may have just found its Speedy. Teen Wolf co star Colton Haynes has booked a recurring role on the action series, playing  as Roy Harper, a teen who crosses paths with Oliver's (Stephen Amell) sister Thea. As first reported by TV Guide Magazine, Haynes' Roy is a handsome, street-savvy teen from the Glades, the poverty-stricken area of Starling City who winds up being the object of affection for Thea, despite her own misgivings and those of her family. The character, the CW confirms, is "destined" to become a significant part of her life and an important player in the drama from Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg's world.



In the DC Comics on which the series is based, Roy Harper is Green Arrow's teen sidekick known as Speedy, who first appears alongside the hooded hero in 1941's More Fun Comics #73. More recently, the character was a member of the Teen Titans known as Arsenal and ultimately a member of the Justice League of America, where he was known as Red Arrow.
