In a recently revealed preview for the season 3 premiere of Arrow, titled The Calm, the new Count Vertigo, played by Peter Stormare, attacks Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell).

Stephen Amell Teases Fans With 8-Second Clip From Season 3 Premiere

In the clip, Stormare's character introduces himself to Oliver telling him that he could call him Vertigo. Before Oliver has time to react, the Count injects him with a drug. He goes on to reveal his demonic plot to do away with Oliver.

"Some things never die, you for example," he says. "It's frustrating. Just means I have to try a little bit harder."

The clip suggests that the new Vertigo has a more potent poison which would make for Oliver's "greatest fear."

Oliver unsuccesfully tries to bring the Arrow out to fight the Count. Toward the end of the clip, somebody emerges to rescue him.

Recently The Hollywood Reporter exclusively released another clip from the premiere. The video is a funny one, as Oliver is seen proposing to Felicity over the phone while riding his bike chasing some bad guys, and she is at her day job as a salesgirl in store trying to sell stuff. As she excuses herself to take the call she tells Oliver that he is going to get her "incredibly fired." And as she starts to roll with the whereabouts of the guys he is after, he asks her if she likes Italian! She continues to give him the details of where the guy is, finishing her sentence by stating that she did love Italian food. She cuts the call as she has to get back to work and Oliver hits his target under the sewer.
