The actor went on to confirm that Deadshot would be joining a group setting in the March 20 installment of "Arrow."
"All these characters have appeared separately throughout the arc of season 2, but this is the first time they're assembled together- the first official appearance of the Suicide Squad," Rowe revealed. "A chemical weapons threat takes us on an overseas mission to take out the character responsible for that. Diggle and Lyla being attached to the team makes for some really interesting scenes to say the least."
As for Rowe's take on his character's interaction with Diggle, the actor said Deadshot does not "play nice" with any of the other characters.
"But because they've made [joining this team] appealing to him, I don't know if he has much of a choice," the actor added. "So he joins the team, but he still sticks it to everybody every chance he gets."
"Arrow" airs Wednesdays on The CW at 8 p.m. EST. The synopsis for "Suicide Squad" is as follows: "The Suicide Squad is sent on its first mission, and Diggle agrees to join the team but is shocked to learn that the unit includes Deadshot, Bronze Tiger and Shrapnel, all criminals he and Arrow helped put away. Meanwhile, Oliver prepares to battle Slade, who is out to destroy Oliver's loved one.
