Arrow Season Four Spoilers: John Barrowman says “Oliver is like a son to Malcolm”

Season four of Arrow will begin in October, and we already know that change is coming – especially for the Arrow who will go on to be known as the Green Arrow.

Throughout the show, since the beginning we’ve watched the troublesome relationship between Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) develop.

It seems as though neither really like each other, but they just put up with one another for the sake of Thea (Willa Holland) who is Malcolm’s daughter and Oliver’s sister.

However, even though that’s how it comes across on TV, John Barrowman has spoken out about how his character actually considers Oliver like a son.

Speaking at the San Diego Comic Con a few weeks ago, Barrowman also teased what we can expect from both Malcolm and Oliver in season four…

When asked if he believes that Oliver will regret the decision to make Malcolm the next Ra’s al Ghul, and give him so much power as the League of Assassins, John replied:

“I believe I have a soft spot for every one of those people on that team, and I haven’t figured out but maybe it’s because of Tommy knowing most of them, or it’s because I look at Oliver as being like a son.”

He added: “My daughter, I knew I was training her to be part of it. I will protect them, but if I have to kill someone, I will…

“Don’t get in the way, because I will put my neck out on the line and protect them.”

We’ve already heard that the first episode of the new season will “haunt the rest of the season” and the producers have spoken previously about how different it’s going to be.

In terms of the bad guys for this season, if season three was anything to go by, Ra’s al Ghul will play just as big a role, but the main bad guy is likely to be Damien Darhk and HIVE.

As we’ve said, Arrow will return for its fourth season in October, and if you haven’t seen it already, then check out John Barrowman speaking about the show in the video below.
