Thanks to Bruce_F for the heads up.
'Arrow' seeking Shado: Will she be an ally for Oliver?
"Arrow" is wasting no time introducing a multitude of villains and allies from the DC Comics universe -- and soon, we'll meet yet another. Zap2it has learned that producers are currently seeking the perfect actress to play Shado.
She's a vengeful archer and martial artist who first appeared in the comics in 1987. In the comics, Shado's purpose was to kill Americans who had disgraced her father and caused shame to fall on her family.
Of course, "Arrow" will give the character a new, unexpected twist. For our purposes, Shado is the beautiful young daughter of Yao Fei, the expert archer and mentor who saved Oliver's life on the island of Lian Yu. Shado will make her first appearance in episode 114, titled "The Odyssey."
As we've already seen thanks to the interrogators, Yao Fei was once in the army. Shado's introduction will give us a better understanding of his history and how he came to Lian Yu. And yes -- she will have that familiar dragon tattoo.
The question remains as to whether Shado will be a friend or an adversary for Oliver. In the comics, they were at odds, until Shado helped Oliver take down a villain who had captured Laurel. They ended up working together to take down several more formidable villains.

This is really interesting for me not because of the character but because Arrow has done such a good job booking guest stars that I'm anxious to see who they'll cast in the part.
ReplyDeletefirst name ran through my mind was Scarlett Johansson :)
ReplyDeleteHaha while that would be great, that's never going to happen ;)
ReplyDeleteI know
ReplyDeleteBut she would be totally badass for this role
PLEASE cast Stephanie Jacobsen for this, she would be so awesome and is super freakin hot.
ReplyDeletewouldn't she need to be asian? You know, being Yao Fei and all...
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess she needs to be Asian =P And yes I know that Scarlet Johansson would be great for this role, but there are too many reasons why she wouldn't go for this kind of part... ;)
ReplyDeleteYes. Good call. I approve.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind seeing someone like Gianna Jun from Blood: The Last Vampire for a role like this.
ReplyDeleteFYI i'm available (-;
