Familiar Faces Return In New Arrow Season 7 Finale Photos

To say that a lot has transpired during Arrow‘s seventh season is quite the understatement. After kicking things off with Oliver Queen in prison, Star City was graced with a new Emerald Archer whom we assumed to be a hero. But as it turned out, the vigilante was actually Emiko, Ollie’s estranged sister, and leader of the terrorist organization known as the Ninth Circle. And since the true Green Arrow was released from the clink, he’s had to accept the fact that his own flesh and blood is the new big bad in town.

Given all that, I’m expecting for next week’s season finale to be both action-packed and emotionally draining. Fortunately, the network has thoroughly whetted our appetites with no less than eighteen images taken from the climactic episode, each of which can be found in the gallery below.

As you browse said slideshow, you’ll quickly find that some familiar faces will be putting in appearances. Joining the likes of Green Arrow, Spartan, Wild Dog, Arsenal and Black Canary will be none other than Bronze Tiger and a Laurel Lance who’s now proudly rocking the Black Canary costume once worn by her Earth-1 predecessor. Not only that, but Curtis Holt stops by to lend a hand after Echo Kellum made his official exit as a series regular. Now this is what I call a seriously stacked Team Arrow!

In addition to seeing the squad gearing up for action, some teasers for the final confrontation between Oliver and Emiko are offered. And if you hadn’t noticed, Felicity Smoak is still around, so I guess statements saying she’d leave before the finale were smokescreens. Instead, it appears as though this’ll actually be her last episode – unless she does come back for the series finale next year, that is.
