ComicBook has just released an interview from Comic Con International featuring Willa! She explains Thea’s focus if she makes it out of the island, Malcolm Merlyn, Oliver’s relationship with his son and more! Sadly the interview cannot be embed, but you can watch it by clicking on the picture bellow.

Much of Team Arrow’s fate hangs in the balance after Arrow‘s earth-shattering season five cliffhanger. While fans are uncertain what to expect when the show returns this fall, one cast member has a pretty clear idea of what her character’s motivations could be going forward – if she survives the horrific blast on Lian Yu, that is.

Willa Holland, who brings to life Thea Queen/Speedy on the show, recently spoke to ComicBook.com during San Diego Comic-Con. While Holland was not able to reveal what state Thea will be in when Arrow returns in October, she shed some light on what Thea’s primary focus in season six could be. Check it out in the clip above!

“I think it can really go one of two ways for her,” Holland revealed, “especially depending on if she’s alive or not at the beginning of the season. I think that she’s just going to try to grapple with every piece of information that she’s been given over the last six months.”

According to Holland, those bombshells range quite a bit, and include the sacrifice Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) made on Thea’s behalf in the season five finale.

“She’s gotten handed a lot of information about herself, and about her family.” Holland explained. “And then also, her father just stepped on a mine for her. So I think her main focus if she were to be alive and well in the beginning of the season, would be to kind of grapple with all of that.”

Fans will just have to wait to see how Thea processes all of that – and if she is alive and well to do so – when Arrow returns to The CW in October.

While attending Comic Con International, Willa did some press where she and the cast of Arrow spoke about the upcoming season of the show. Bellow and under the cut you will find all interviews released so far. Make sure to keep an eye out for this post as it will be updated with all new videos!

Our favorite time of the year– Comic Con International or as some call it, San Diego Comic Con!!!! It’s a fantastic time where we get learn more about certain television shows, movies and much more. For us, Willa fans, it means a lot of new pictures, interviews and basically just seeing Willa out in San Diego, promoting the show, while being her goofy and super sweet self warms our hearts. Willa was the convention promoting the sixth season of Arrow, where she spoke about Thea while also not giving much away considering the season five finale ended with a big bang (if you know what i mean) and the fate of a lot of characters is currently under wraps.

With that being said, during the panel we didn’t learn much on Thea. Willa spoke about the crossovers and how they were very challenging in a really creative way. The cast was asked about traumas their characters went through this past season only, to which Willa said that trauma has catapulted Thea into different areas and she has learnt lessons of who and what not to be in the future. Photos from this epic weekend have been added to the gallery, from public appearances, to photos of Willa arriving to Hard Rock Hotel and photoshoots. Bellow you will also find a video to the panel, that you can now watch thanks to Flicks And The City!

Willa was at Heroes & Villains Fan Fest Atlanta this weekend with her Arrow co-stars Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, Paul Blackthorne, David Ramsey, Charlotte Ross and John Barrowman to talk about the show and interact with some fans. We have added to the gallery photos from the Arrow panel, a big thank you to venusnep for two of the pictures along with other pictures shared by the actors and some fans. Bellow you will find some information that was told during the panel, along with the whole panel incase you are interested in watching!

Willa team up recently with RiseUP AS ONE where she shared her thoughts on how social networks can disconnect us from what’s happening in the real world and how we could all come together. You can watch her talk about it on the video bellow.

Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Willa Holland and more open up about what’s to come on “Arrow.”
