Palmer will eventually end up owning Queen Consolidated and there will be a whole lot of friction between him and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). In the promo, Palmer is introduced as Oliver looks a bit flustered walking into the offices and seeing a confident and domineering Palmer in his conference room. "I parked on your roof, hope that's OK? ... You guys valet, right?" Palmer informs Ray with a smidge of attitude.

Amell also gave E!Online a fun spoiler. Seems like Ray Palmer, played by Brandon Routh, will be quite a threat to Oliver in the board room.

"We both bid for Queen Consolidated in the season premiere," Amell said. "Spoiler alert: He gets it."

Ray Palmer is not the only new member on the show, there are a bunch of new characters coming on board. Most recently, it was revealed that Wildcat will be spicing things up on the show. J.R. Ramirez will be playing the part of Wildcat. In the DC comics Wildcat is Ted Grant's superhero alterego and according to aDeadline report he will play a crucial role in Laurel Lance's (Katie Cassidy) story in the next chapter.
