Doug Jones joins 'Arrow'

London: Actor Doug Jones has joined the cast of 'Arrow'.

The 54-year-old actor will play DC villain Deathbolt in the CW show, reported Digital Spy.

Jones will appear in the 19th episode of the third season, 'Broken Arrow'.

While Deathbolt/Jake Simmons first appeared in DC comics in 1983 with the power to control electricity, the character will appear in Arrow as a metahuman with the ability to exploit plasma energy.

Jones has previously starred in 'Batman Returns', 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer', 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'Hocus Pocus'.

'Arrow' boss Marc Guggenheim recently denied that John Diggle will become Green Lantern.
