 5th Alpha Revealed

We knew there was a fifth Alpha but up until now we’ve not had confirmation of the widely circulating rumors about the character.

Today, MTV confirmed he will be named Ennis and “and he is a force of pure brutality”.

That’s all we got – but they did post a picture of the face mold they did for the character’s special effects makeup.

There’s a huge write up in the LA Times on Teen Wolf today.

Highlights include a great shot of Dylan O’Brien and an actress named Caitlin Custer and of course Tumblr and the rest of the internet speculation machine began guessing who she’ll be playing and why Dylan is holding her face in the picture.

The article says “The director watches a monitor as an actor rushes down a staircase into a basement wine cellar, searching among the racks of bottles for his childhood crush.”

If that portion of the article is referencing what we see in the photograph then my guess would be that Stiles is searching for Heather in the scene meaning Custer is playing Heather.

What we know of the character is available in the Teen Wolf News Archive.

Also from the piece –


 * The budget for Season 3 is estimated to be $60 million


 * The Teen Wolf Studios are located in a 90 thousand square foot warehouse in Northridge.

 Colton Scores Comic Book Role

Colton Haynes is taking on one of the most important roles in the annals of Comic Book History.

He’s been cast to play Roy Harper in the new CW series Arrow.

The show, loosely based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, is picking up decent ratings and critical acclaim in its first season.

In the comics, Colton’s new character has a checkered past. Originally a goofy sidekick in the vein of Robin and Kid Flash, Roy Harper was called Speedy and wore a yellow version of the Robin Hood costume worn by his mentor and guardian Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

As comics became more serious and socially conscience in the 1970s, the writers portrayed Roy Harper as a Heroin addicted junkie in an award winning story arc called Snowbirds Don’t Fly.

The portrayal cemented the character’s place in Comic Book History as it rewrote the rules on how drug addiction could be handled in the medium.

With the exception of the general outline and some of the characters, the CW series is not following the comic’s canon at all so it is unlikely Colton’s Roy Harper will be anything like his four-color counterpart.

According to TVGuide, he’ll be a street kid from the wrong side of town and provide a love interest for Oliver Queen’s younger sister.
