The first extensive look at the premiere of the next chapter was unveiled via a whole bunch of stills for Arrow. These stills show the team back in action with new cast member Brandon Routh playing Ray Palmer aka the Atom. Palmer will eventually end up owning Queen Consolidated and there will be a whole lot of friction between him and Oliver. 

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."

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 a Deadline report he will play a crucial role in Laurel Lance's (Katie Cassidy) story in the next chapter.

Recently, a new promo for the show highlighting Ray Palmer aka The Atom, played by Brandon Routh was also recently released.

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.

The finale of season 2 of Arrow aired on May 14 on the CW.
