Following Manu Bennett's return as Deathstroke in "Arrow" season 5 finale, fans want to see more of the character. Bennett himself is more than willing to meet the fans' demand, encouraging them to reach out to executive producers Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim as well as other studio execs if they want a spin-off centering on his on-screen alter ego.
"Hey kid ! You are a great actor and so charismatic ! You are amazing on Spartacus, Arrow and Shannarah ! We need a #Deathstroke spin off !" wrote one Twitter user. Bennett responded, "Everybody who wants a #deathstrokeoriginalseries needs to rally @DCComics @WarnerBrosEnt @GBerlanti & @mguggenheim @netflix."
Bennett retweeted some other comments asking for the Deathstroke spin-off, but he realizes that at the end of the day, it's the character's creator's approval that matters the most. "I think the most important person to get behind any Deathstroke original series is Marv Wolfman, who created the character," he tweeted.
Wolfman quickly responded to Bennett's tweet. He wrote back, "Much appreciated, Manu. I love Deathstroke and I was overjoyed to see your return and would love to see you do more." Wolfman's tweet sounds coy, but he appears to love the actor's portrayal of the character as well and that's already a good sign.
Much appreciated, Manu. I love Deathstroke and I was overjoyed to see your return and would love to see you do more.
