Season 3 of Arrow is set to get another villain with Comicbook's Brick, who will be played by British actor Vinnie Jones.

Ra's al Ghul's Daughter Nyssa To Appear In Episode 4

Variety reported this bit of exciting news on October 20. Danny "Brick" Brickwell is a gang leader who will be of great menace to the government of Starling City. Another characteristic of Brick, which also earns him his name, is that he is semi-indestructible. The villain has been known to get shot a bunch of times, but has resisted the force.

The first villain of this chapter of Arrow, the new avatar of Count Vertigo, played by Peter Storemare, has already made his debut with the season premiere. Ra's al Ghul, who is being played by Matt Nable, is reportedly the prime anatagonist this time around and will be the equivalent of Slade in season 2.

Jones is also playing a part in ABC's upcoming musical comedy, Galavant.

Other new additions this season feature Ray Palmer aka The Atom, who is being portrayed by Brandon Routh, and Ted "Wildcat" Grant, played by J.R. Ramirez.

Here's the official synopsis for the upcoming episode of season 3:

"OLIVER SEARCHES FOR THEA IN CORTO MALTESE WHILE DIGGLE TRACKS A.R.G.U.S. AGENT MARK SHAW - Oliver (Stephen Amell) decides it's time for Thea (Willa Holland) to come back to Starling City, so he packs for Corto Maltese, where Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) has traced Thea's whereabouts. Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) asks Diggle (David Ramsey) to go with Oliver because one of her field operatives, Mark Shaw (guest star David Cubitt), has gone dark in Corto Maltese and she'd like him to look into it.

"Feeling responsible for Thea's departure, Roy (Colton Haynes) joins Oliver and Diggle on their journey. Shaw double-crosses Diggle, putting numerous A.R.G.U.S. agents, including Lyla, at risk. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) meets Ted Grant (J.R. Ramirez), and Felicity adjusts to her new job. Stephen Surjik directed the episode written by Erik Oleson & Beth Schwartz (#303)."

The third episode, entitled Corto Maltese, of season 3 will air on October 22 on The CW.
