Season 5 of Arrow is set to feature a slew of new faces on the Star City vigilante front. Season 4 ended with the dissolution of the previous Team Arrow as Diggle and Thea left their leathers behind. Oliver will need to assemble a new Team Arrow if he wants to recreate the group crime-fighting dynamic. Tech genius Curtis Holt had been set up as a replacement for the open slot on Team Arrow after the big death, and comic fans knew that he would probably become the superhero Mr. Terrific at some point in the series. Now, actor Echo Kellum has revealed just when Curtis will fulfill his comic destiny as Mr. Terrific. Here's what Kellum teased about Curtis in Season 5:

The mask is happening this year. You can definitely expect it in the first nine.

Echo Kellum dropped the news about Mr. Terrific's mask in a chat with ComicBookMovie.com. The Season 5 trailer had shown an injured Curtis declaring to Oliver that he was ready to start fighting crime, so we already knew that we would be seeing more of Curtis in the bunker in the near future. Given how Arrow has handled the comic origin stories of side characters like Arsenal and Speedy over the years, it makes sense that Curtis is getting his mask sooner rather than later.
