As filming for season 3 of Arrow is currently underway, the title for the premiere episode of the next chapter was revealed on July 31.

Oliver And Ray Palmer aka The Atom To 'Bid For Queen Consolidated' In Premiere Episode

The episode has been titled, Corto Maltese, and this could mean a lot of things. According to a report it is the name of an island by South America in the DC comicverse. It goes on to highlight that Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) had once made a reference to the island in an episode in season 2. The inference that is drawn is that the episode will have something to do with John Diggle (David Ramsey).

The official press release for season 3 of the show was also released last month:

Oliver And Felicity's Date Goes "Horribly" In Premiere Of Next Chapter

"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. He returned home to Starling City, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice.

To do this, he creates the persona of the Arrow and allies himself with former military man John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), street brawler Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) and international assassin Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), while keeping his secret from those closest to him including his sister Thea (Willa Holland), who has allied herself with his most deadly enemy. Rivalries and allegiances will shift as Oliver faces his most difficult challenge yet."

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

Season 3 premieres on October 8 on The CW.
