Speaking to KsiteTV<\/em><\/a>, Katie Cassidy, who plays Oliver Queen’s bitter ex\u00a0Dinah ‘Laurel’ Lance in Arrow<\/em><\/a>, revealed a little about how her take on the character is going to embrace her comic-book destiny and become Black Canary.<\/p>\n

“I think as far as the Black Canary goes, it will probably happen very organically,” said Cassidy. “I know that Laurel is very strong, very tough. She comes from a middle class family; her father’s a cop, she knows how to fight.<\/p>\n

“It will be something that happens organically, and it’s probably going to be pretty cool.”<\/p>\n

Cassidy admitted that when she first approached the character, she was completely ignorant of the Black Canary alter ego.<\/p>\n

“I basically came up with a back story that was legitimate to the material that I was given \u2013 the pilot,” Cassidy explained. “I did a little bit of research, but I also, at that point, didn’t consider the Black Canary because I didn’t know [about that side of the character]. \u00a0“When [or] if [she becomes Black Canary] is always still a question. You never know with these writers; they could do anything. I try not to think about that at this point.”<\/p>\n
