Excitement looms the upcoming episodes as 'Arrow' season 3 welcomes a new villain by the name of Brick, a character from the comic book version of the popular TV show.

Portrayed by British actor Vinnie Jones, Brick is expected to appear in the series anytime soon.

In the comic book version, Danny "Brick" Brickwell is a menacing gang leader that targets the government of Starling City.

This antihero's nickname means "semi-indestructible." Brick had also been shot multiple times, but continues to survive despite several fatal attacks and attempts to murder him.

The first villain of this new season of Arrow, Count Vertigo, already made his debut during the premiere episode.

Versatile actor Peter Stormare is playing his character.

This season's number one antagonist portrayed by actor Matt Nable is Ra's al Ghul.

He is believed to be Slade's equivalent.

Reports have also mentioned that Brandon Routh will play the role of Ray Palmer, better known as the superhero Atom.

Other cast of characters that are going to appear in this season are Ted Grant (Wild Cat) and Ra's al Ghul' daughter Nyssa.

Nyssa's role is going to be portrayed by actress Katrina Law.

The character has been confirmed by showrunner Marc Guggenheim, and is thought to add more pressure into the dark this season.
