Days after news broke regarding the casting of Josh Segarra (who played Sgt. Hank Voight’s son Justin on Chicago P.D.) in the new series regular role of Adrian Chase (aka Vigilante), Variety is reporting that fellow P.D. alumni Madison McLaughlin has booked a recurring role in Season 5. She will take on the role of the archer vigilante named “Artemis”. For Young Justice, Artemis was given a more heroic alter ego as the “niece” and sidekick of Green Arrow after Red Arrow went on to fight crime solo. Artemis also dated Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale), which could be a fun relationship to explore in potentialThe Flash crossovers. She eventually worked with Green Arrow after Speedy left. Evelyn was last seen in episode 419, “Canary Cry”, when she impersonated the fallen Black Canary to seek revenge on Damien and Ruvé Darhk for the murder of her parents.
Arrow stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak, John Barrowman as Malcom Merlyn, with Paul Blackthorne as Detective Lance.
