Chad Coleman will appear as Tobias Church in the first episode of Arrow Season 5.
Previous details about the villain of Arrow Season 5 compared the character to Idris Elba’s Wire drug kingpin Stringer Bell.
Stephen Amell also offered the villain of Season 5 is “only a villain we could do if we were in Season 5 of a show because it calls back to what has happened in yesteryear or yester-season as the case may be…”
