With a picture that would make Felicity Smoak blush, Stephen Amell revealed the first look at the fifth season of Arrow, showing off his impressive physique as shirtless Oliver Queen.

Fans will immediately notice the wig on top of Amell's head - it's different to those we've seen in the past, so will it be from a different series of flashbacks, or will we this season be flashing forward and seeing an older Queen?

Speculation is rife as to what exactly this scene will entail, but as the series shares a universe with The Flash, and we know The Flash's timeline is going through all sorts of changes, we could see some dramatic shifts in the Arrow timeline when it returns later this year.

Amell previously teased of the new episodes in an interview with EW: "Even though Supergirl is joining the ranks, there's no new person or new show to introduce this year, and I think as a result of that, we need to get back to focusing more on some of the core elements that used to define Arrow.

"To me, that's hand-to-hand combat, no superpowers, and dealing with the job of cleaning up Star City."

Arrow season 5 premieres on Wednesday, October 5 at 8pm ET on The CW.
