Black Canary – Arrow

On the comic book show Arrow, Black Canary was originally played by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood for the pilot episode flashbacks. In that episode, Sara Lance, the character’s real name, is lost at sea and believed to have drowned when the boat sinks.

Due to scheduling conflicts and Lance’s expanded role within the Arrow universe, Wood was eventually recast when it was decided that more Black Canary was good for the show. The role went to Caity Lotz.
