Her casting confirms that Arrow will be basing Waller on the recent New 52 version of the character from the comics - until a couple of years ago, Waller had been portrayed as an older, heavyset woman. The Arrow producers must be Spartacus fans, as Addai-Robinson will join her fellow Spartacus alum Manu Bennett on the series, who plays Slade Wilson.
