Thea Queen! Come on down, you're the next member of Team Arrow to get a badass superhero costume. Willa Holland will slip into her Speedy suit in the Arrow season four premiere as one of the newest defenders of Star City (formerly known as Starling City).

While Thea, Laurel (Katie Cassidy), and Diggle (David Ramsey) have been holding down the fort in Oliver's (Stephen Amell) absence, as he and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) live in domestic bliss away from all the terrible villains trying to wreak havoc in Star City, they'll get the vigilante back in action in the season four premiere.

Season three saw Oliver Queen's little sister transform into a superhero in her own right, thanks to training from her evil biological father, Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman). Back in March, Holland told E! News at her show's Paleyfest celebration that she was really hoping to get a costume of her own.

"Yes, I can't really say much," she dished when asked whether she'd been bugging producers for her own superhero suit. "But fingers crossed, guys. I'm trying. I want to be in leather, man!"

Arrow season four premieres Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. on The CW. Check out her new digs above, and find out where it lands in our ranking of TV's superhero costumes in the gallery below!
