Willa Holland revealed how Speedy's origin was meant to debut much sooner and how glad she is with the way her character has developed in a new video for "Arrow."

"When I signed on for the show, the idea of the evolution was coming a lot earlier in the beginning, but the trajectory and the time that we've taken with it and building up a true reason for her to come to this place has actually been a little bit better for me, because I feel it would have been an injustice just to throw her into a suit at the end of season one or two without putting her through any tests at all," she explained.

"From the beginning, totally knew this was going to happen, but was waiting for it to be done right and it has been," she added.

Starring Stephen Amell, David Ramsey and Emily Bett Rickards, "Arrow" airs Wednesdays at 8 pm EST on The CW.
