I was worried after the less than stellar Ex3 that Dolph's latest resurgence was powering down... but people seem to have really enjoyed Kill It on the indie circuit. Then his team/whoever made the decision to guest star on Arrow... which to be honest I was skeptical of at first, but turns out that might have been the smartest late career move he's made since joining Sly for Ex1.
Arrow season 5 has been very well received by fans... I see a lot of them on social media ranking it up there with season 1 or even as their favorite season overall... with Dolph getting a lot of praise.
I know he's been pretty adamant in the past about avoiding CBM ... but this thing is almost guaranteed to do huge numbers at the Box Office and to have Dolph a part (maybe even a big part) is going to be huge. James Wan is a talented guy and he knows how to direct an ensemble so I have no doubt that he can handle this large/talented cast.
I know we were all excited a few years ago when Dolph made his mainstream comeback with Expendables and thought he'd get a chance to revive his big screen career and open more/bigger doors... but this could end up being the real deal.
I'd like to think also Dolph just being a good dude and pleasant to work with overall also has helped this be possible.
