Comments Off on ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg on the Evolution of Summer Glau’s Isabel
Summer Glau may be best known for her kick-ass roles on shows like TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, but when she landed the role of Isabel Rochev on ARROW, the writers weren’t entirely sure if they would be writing to those strengths.
“It’s funny, because when Summer took the part, I was up there on set with her, and she was like, ‘I’ve never done anything like this. I feel much better if I’m kicking somebody,'” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told reporters last week. ” And I’m just like, ‘You’re so good. You should give yourself more credit. We wanted you because you’re such a good actress and you feel amazing in this part. Not because you can kick ass.’ And then [later] I got to call her and say, ‘Hey, we changed our minds. You get to kick ass.’ But in 18, when she does, it’s like, ‘Oh yeah.'”

ARROW: Summer Glau to Recur

Given ARROW season 1’s fixture as one of the most genre-tastic guest star list on all of television, it’s only fitting that season 2 is kicking off the same way: a rep for the show confirms that Whedonverse (and TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) alumna Summer Glau has landed a recurring role on ARROW.
According to The Huffington Post, Glau will play Isabel Rochev, a woman described as “enigmatically beautiful and professionally dangerous”…it seems Isabel is the VP of Aquisitions of Stellmoor International, a company that is looking to take over Oliver’s family’s company, Queen Consolidated. Yikes.
Additionally, Isabel does have history in the “Green Arrow” comics, but the ARROW writers have been fairly firm about telling their own story. Who knows what details might match up, though?
Are you excited for Glau to come on ARROW?
