The animated Vixen will join the live action cast of Arrow season 4 in 2016.
When Megalyn Echikunwoke was cast as the voice of Vixen for an animated series set in the world of The Flash and Arrow, an animated series that also featured guest spots from Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin, it seemed like the clock started ticking. After all, why only test the waters with an actress like Ms. Echikunwoke, who looked quite capable of taking on Vixen in live action as well, right?
Well, it's happening. Megalyn Echikunwoke will appear as Mari "Vixen" McCabe on Arrowseason 4 episode 15, a still untitled episode.
"We’re not only thrilled to be further expanding our DC television universe by bringing in the live-action incarnation of the CW Seed hit, Vixen, we’re immensely excited that Megalyn will be revisiting her role as Mari McCabe,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told TV Insider. No story details have surfaced yet, but when they do, we'll let you know.
