Vixen Coming To CW

Vixen Joins Arrow Cast

According to TV Insider, the CW’s Arrow is bringing in DC superheroine Vixen – and they’re even using the character’s voice-over actress from the recent Vixen animated series to do it. Megalyn Echikunwoke will reprise her role as Vixen in an episode of Arrow early next year.

“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,” said Arrow and Vixen executive producer Marc Guggenheim.

The recent Vixen cartoon on the CW Seed was already set inside the Arrow-verse continuity, but bringing her over to live-action – with the same actor – is almost unheard of.
