Arrow and The Flash, together again.

The Flash crew have returned from Earth-2, but they're about to get visitors from their own turf when the Diggles (David Ramsey and Audrey Marie Anderson) head to Central City to help the S.T.A.R. Labs team take on King Shark, the terrifying man-shark hybrid metahuman that terrorized the town once before.

"What's in store is that we're chasing a 14-foot half-man, half-shark. Just wrap your head around that one, alright? It's fun," Arrow star Ramsey tells E! News about his character's latest crossover.

John Diggle is a logical man, so the fact that he's not only dealing with someone with superpowers but he's also dealing with someone who looks like a shark with legs is always fun to play, Ramsey says of his straight-laced Team Arrow member.

"It's the Diggles! Mr. and Mrs. Smith going to chase a half-man, half-shark. It's a great story," he says. "And anytime Diggle, who's freaked out to no end, gets to watch Flash and his powers, that's always fun, right? Because Diggle's reaction is always the same. This is a nuts and bolts guy. Now he's dealing with superhumans and he just can't wrap his head around it."

Diggle is at his funniest when dealing with The Flash (come on, you know he's a highlight of every crossover event), and Ramsey tells us that he loves to play with that humor—and to play in the different onscreen DC worlds. "It's great TV right now, man. To get to cross over with that, and then Legends, and God knows what can happen with Supergirl. It's just a great time for us."

Check out an exclusive sneak peek of The Flash episode above, in which Diggle and Lila arrive in Central City to tell the S.T.A.R. Labs team that King Shark has escaped from his A.R.G.U.S. holding tank and is hell-bent on taking down the Flash.

The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
