When Arrow returns to TV this fall, fans can expect to see David Ramsey's Diggle in full costume and boasting a new code name. At the Television Critics Association Press Tour, Arrow producer Wendy Mericle spoke of big plans for the character, ones that include a new name.
I can't tell you want the code name is, but he's gonna have a fun, cool code name. He'll start to embrace a little bit more of that dual identity conundrum that Oliver has been grappling with for three years now.
It appears that as Diggle continues his journey to becoming a full-fledged superhero he'll make a number of changes to protect his identity. A new costume was teased at San Diego Comic Con, with Ramsey confirming that his character will wear a specialized helmet and leather jacket/costume. The source of Diggle's new costume, as well as his new name, remains a mystery. Given the reference the name being "fun" and "cool", and the high tech appearance of the helmet, it's a safe bet to assume that both are gifts from Team Arrow's friends at S.T.A.R. Labs.
