Colton Haynes (MTV's Teen Wolf) is joining The CW's Arrow as none other than DC Comics' Roy Harper. DC Comics fans know Roy as the original comic book sidekick to Green Arrow, who's gone by the names Speedy, Arsenal and Red Arrow.

TV Guide , who broke the news, describes Haynes' Harper as "a handsome, street-savvy, teenager from the Glades, the harsh, poverty-stricken portion of Starling City." Red Arrow will also serve as a love interest for Willa Holland's Thea Queen - who, in a nod to the comics' Mia Dearden, already has the nickname Speedy. After the twosome meet unexpectedly, Roy is "destined to become a significant part of her life and an important player in the larger world of Arrow.""We were big fans of Colton from Teen Wolf and we are thrilled he's joining Arrow," executive producer Greg Berlanti told TV Guide.Haynes will make his debut on the show in an upcoming episode in 2013.
