Constantine was cancelled after a single season on NBC because the network mishandled the series from day one but this iteration of the character has lived thanks to an appearance in
Arrow and an upcoming CW Seed animated series. However, it's now been confirmed that Matt Ryan will reprise the role in
Legends of Tomorrow season three. That's been rumoured for a while but is now 100% official.
Showrunner Phil Klemmer made that clear in a recent interview while he was listing some of the adventures we can expect the group of time travelling heroes to go on during the third season.
"We get Billy Zane and the circus [in the second episode]; we get a little Julius Caesar on the beach in Aruba in the premiere," he told
Rotten Tomatoes.
"We meet [new team member] Zari in this sort of dystopian future. We get to do a little Amblin alien episode back in the ’80s; we do some Jack the Ripper Victorian London; Golden Age of Hollywood; John Constantine doing an exorcism."
How exactly the team will cross paths with Constantine remains to be seen, especially as he's not exactly much of a time-traveller! Many fans would love to see him join the Legends so if this opens the door to that happening, it's definitely a bonus. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below.
