Marc Guggenheim Teases CONSTANTINE's "Exciting" Role In ARROW Season 4

So is this in canon with the NBC show then?

This is cool and all, but I just can't get excited about crossovers in DC's T.V. universe.......much more interested to see if Cara Delevigne's character has a possible crossover appearance with the movie Constantine or at least Justice League Dark....stuff along the lines of that.

I loved Constantine and dislike Arrow but then I love Flash soooo hope this works.

Matt Ryan was fair as Constantine.

He honestly was just wasted on a supernaturally derivative, uninteresting, and outright boring paint-by-numbers show.

It was like they took Constantine and stuck him in "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo". It had no edge to it. No bite. No teeth.

DC should follow Marvel's lead and put a show like Constantine on Netflix where they can actually make him as he is supposed to be, and not some G-rated goofball fighting the mediocre forces of darkness with his immortally boring and monotone cabbie sidekick and a woman who seems to have her face permanently froze in mid-smirk.

What was Zed always smiling about? She kept this look on her face like she knew something really funny but was trying to keep it a secret!

This version of Constantine was really just DC's weak version of a 'Supernatural' show. To be honest, the Keanu movie was closer in tone to the comics than this show was. I'm sure some would like it who weren't familiar with the character but having read every single comic printed I can only shake my head at the wasted potential.

Constantine is a fascinating character and deserves to be shown as he is because there is pure gold in that series that has yet to be properly translated onscreen.

Not a great way to bring him back...but not too late to get it right either.

I just hope after this comes out CW reconsiders bringing Constantine to CW. The great thing about Constantine is it only needs to be a small season show. I personally liked how it was only thirteen episodes. Have it air during the summer when nothing else is on and they'll see a lot of viewers watching it.

I would've watched Constantine if they didn't have it on Friday nights.

Omg...that scene tho...

@gamecreatorjj

Hey if it worked for you, that's great!

Had I never picked up a Constantine comic (pre-New 52) I may have thought the show was pretty decent. I mean it wasn't 'horrible' but it did have a "we've been there/done that" vibe that really just played it safe rather than original.

Matt Ryan visually fit the mold for sure.
He was closer to the character than Keanu, but the Keanu movie was closer to the tone of the comics.

It's a bit of a mess in my opinion.

They can do this right, I just think they are too afraid and go with a simple and safe show that they know has worked before.

CONSTANTINE mathafaka!!!!

Hahaha!!! I remember that scene. If I recall correctly, it was played for laughs with Felicity throwing her tablet in a knee-jerk reaction to someone sneaking up on her and it just so happened that she got lucky.

If you ever get in a fight kids, aim for a straight shot to the Adams Apple and you pretty much win. You might actually kill the guy depending on how hard you hit, but he shouldn't have stepped up to you.

I think Matt Ryan's doing a play on Broadway, so the one episode was all he could commit to, but the fact is that, while they could have used the character and recast, it was Matt's portrayal and the way he inhabited the role that got this episode commissioned.

They really need to do a 12-13 episode season on HULU or Netflix. It could easily be a top 3 comicbook show.
