Following the events from the Arrow Season 5 finale, say goodbye to John Barrowman as Malcolm Merlyn is no more.
John Barrowman offered in the following video about his departure from the series:
By now you know that Malcolm Merlyn is no more. I know they’ve done it off-camera, but I’m here to tell you I won’t be back next season … and I want you to know how wonderful it’s been for the past five years to be part of the Arrow Universe and all the other shows connected to it…
I am very sad to be leaving the Arrow-verse. I love playing Malcolm Merlyn and, you know, that’s it really. As sad as it may be, I understand how shows must change, and also how characters must change and develop, but that doesn’t mean I’m not very sad and upset about it. I appreciate your support, and love you all.
