Constantine Will Be Promoted To Regular On Legends Of Tomorrow

Constantine Will Be Promoted To Regular On Legends Of Tomorrow

, , , , 0

You want more Constantine, you got it…..a lot more. From cancelled NBC series to cameos in the CW-verse to his own animated string of shorts, John Constantine is certainly…constant. Now comes word that the Legends of Tomorrow producers are planning to give him a permanent seat on the Waverider when they get around to making Season 4. Constantine already showed up in a January episode of the series, and he’s scheduled to make a second appearance soon. Apparently they take a shine to him. Legends is kind of putting the cart before the horse here — they have not been officially granted a Season 4 by The CW. However, it’s extremely unlikely the show wouldn’t be returning next season. Ratings are consistent (for that network) and they have yet to actually cancel any of their DC shows. What we don’t know is what this means for the lineup next year. Assuming Wally West and Zari, the two new additions that joined this season, stick around, that would equal eight crewmembers

Constantine Will Appear More Than Once On Legends Of Tomorrow

All is right with the world now that DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is running new episodes again. The series about D-list DC superheroes teaming up to fix time discrepancies (and sometimes create them) is arguably the highlight of The CW’s DC lineup, with its light breezy tone and chemistry between the characters. Let me put it this way…LoT is the only show of its brand where I can watch an entire episode without ever thinking a subplot is wasting my time or a particular character is a drag. One of the more interesting surprises in the DC TV universe has been the resurrection of John Constantine from his one-season NBC program. The same character, played by the same actor, was reintroduced in the fourth season of Arrow when he brought Sara Lance back to life. Eventually Lance became the captain of the Waverider on LoT, and this week she returned the favor to Constantine by letting him guest-star on the series. But now we’re hearing this won’t be the only

Constantine has been in limbo as a character ever since his NBC show got canceled. And though he did jump over to the Arrowverse a while back, he hasn’t been see on TV since. Now, the CW Seed is making an animated series for him, and even features the actor who portrayed the character on NBC, Matt Ryan. And at New York Comic Con, we got our first look at the series. Right off the bat, Constantine shows just how faithful the character is to his origin, even making time to show him smoking a cigarette (something the live-action series refused to show on screen). And of course, he’s a con man. But this time, he’s conning demons instead of people…for now.

Constantine is one of the most interesting stories in the DCTV universe. It was put on NBC, but then had a major shift after the pilot wasn’t as well received. The show did better as time went on, but didn’t even last a season. Yet, it already had gotten a (pardon the pun) cult following. And fans demanded him back. Which brought him to the Arrowverse in Season 04 of the hit show, and fans still wanted more. And then, it was revealed he would return via an animated series on the CWSeed, and would feature the actor from the live-action show Matt Ryan. A new poster was revealed at New York Comic Con showing off the famed demon hunter. As well as a synopsis for the show: “This all-new animated series from Warner Bros. Animation and Blue Ribbon Content follows DC’s popular comic book character John Constantine (voiced by the live action series star Matt Ryan), a seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult. Armed with an arcane

At San Diego Comic Con, the cast and crew of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow took the stage for what’s going to happen in Season 03. Last season was truly a breakout one for the show, and season 3 is set to go even bigger. First off, the Legends will be challenged by their former leader Rip Hunter, who has set up the Time Bureau to try and truly save the time stream. “Last season, the Legends were the only game in town… now they’re sort of competing with the best and the brightest… the existential question for our guys are, ‘How do we fit into this world?’” asked Executive Producer Phil Klemmer. The cast is also going to have a new addition via Zari, who will change how they feel about their mission. But that’s not all, there will be many returning characters, including the aforementioned Rip Hunter, but also Damien Darhk…and Captain Cold in a recurring role. Now, one fan questions was about whether the fan-favorite character Constantine, played by

Stephen Amell has been a busy man as of late, but this past weekend may have been his busiest one yet. The actor went from shooting Arrow, to Wizard World Chicago, and then to Brooklyn for his WWE debut at Summer Slam. During Wizard World Chicago, he had a Q&A (transcribed by ComicBook.com) panel where naturally fans asked about all sorts of topics, not the least of which was the arrival of Constantine in Arrow and his thoughts on both the character and Matt Ryan. “I’ve been filming scenes all week long with Matt Ryan,” Amell said with a smile. “He is such a treat. And a trip. He’s always saying his lines — and he’s getting ready to go on Broadway right now with Kiera Knightley, so he’s always saying those lines, too. I can’t tell if he’s having a conversation with me, or preparing. And sometimes I chime in, he’ll be like ‘I wasn’t talking to you, mate.’” Naturally, with yet another DC character crossing over into Arrow, this

Constantine Will Help With Sara Lance’s Resurrection in Arrow

As you have heard, the smoking demon fighter John Constantine is coming back to Arrow this fall, but some questions have been raised by his appearance. Mainly, what is he doing on Arrow in the first place? Originally, he was teased to be coming to Arrow to help Oliver Queen understand the mysticism of Ra’s al Ghul and his “magics”. Now, it appears he’ll be helping deal with the fallout of a certain resurrection. As we all know, Sara Lance (who was killed this past season on Arrow) will return to the land of the living and will then head to the Legends of Tomorrow team. Constantine is apparently going to help deal with the fallout of Sara’s resurrection, as we’re told by Marc Guggenheim at the TCA’s (via TVInsider). “Unlike Thea, who wasn’t fully dead, the consequences of using the pit on someone as dead as Sara was creates some unforeseen difficulties,” said Guggenheim. “And John Constantine is uniquely suited to help our team deal with those.” At the moment, Matt Ryan is

The NBC’s Constantine series starring Matt Ryan may have been short-lived, but the show did gain a loyal fan following and good reviews. However, the series was cancelled after one season. Since that time, there was talk of somehow Matt Ryan once again appearing as the man known as John Constantine for the hit CW series, Arrow, which enters its fourth season this fall. Well, those rumors have now been confirmed. The CW has officially announced that John Constantine will appear on Arrow Season 4 later this fall. In addition, Matt Ryan will reprise the role and don the trademark trench-coat of the Hellblazer once again. It helps that both shows are properties owned by DC comics and were produced by Warner Bros. TV. So the question becomes, what brings the supernatural detective Constantine with the masked vigilante the Green Arrow? According to a press release from The CW, Constantine will “provide critical support to Oliver when arrows aren’t enough.” So while this might not be the reprieve on the

Many DC Comics fans were sad when it became official that Constantine would be cancelled and not picked up by any other networks. Though it didn’t have the biggest viewership, many thought the show deserved another season (not unlike how NBC supported other shows despite low ratings) to show it could grow its audience. Sadly, that didn’t happen. But not unlike comics themselves, it’s possible that Constantine himself could be placed in the Arrow universe very soon. Speaking at Comic-Con to IGN, the cast and crew of Arrow noted how they would very much like this to happen. “Yeah, we really want to do it,” said Executive Producer Wendy Mericle. “It’s something we’ve been talking to DC about and it’s just a question of some political things, but also the actor’s schedule. We’re trying to work it out, but we don’t know 100 percent if it’s going to happen.” “Fingers crossed,” added Stephen Amell. “But we’re really optimistic and we would love to have him,” said Mericle. Famously, when Constantine was first cancelled, Amell

In a sad, yet somewhat inevitable, Twitter post, showrunner Daniel Cerone revealed that Constantine has indeed been cancelled. You can read his full statement here, but here’s the jist for you: “I promised I’d share news when I had it — sadly, that news is not good. The cast and writers of Constantine are being released from their contracts. The studio tried to find a new home for the show, for which we’re forever grateful, but those efforts didn’t pan out. I’m sorry, I wasn’t provided any information on the attempts to sell the show elsewhere. All I can report is that the show is over.” “…the writers of Constantine lived the dream, because we’re leaving behind wild and passionate fans who believe in and were moved by what we tried to do. To leave such a significant, dedicated and active fan base on the table — that’s the real sadness. You all deserve many years of the series we set out to make, and we’re disappointed that we couldn’t

During it’s Upfronts media reveal today, the CW dropped many pieces of information about it’s upcoming fall season. On the whole, not much as changed scheduling wise, but some key additions will make this season something special no doubt. First off, they dropped the first photo and trailer reel for Legends of Tomorrow, the Arrow/Flash spinoff that features faces both familiar and non. Ray Palmer leads the pic (showing he’s alive, despite what Arrow’s season finale would have us believe), but there’s also Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter, Kendra Saunders as Hawkgirl (who we may see in the Flash season finale), along other familiar character Martin Stein, Captain Cold, and Heat Wave. Also, we have the still mysterious Sara Lance (who is dead last time we checked), decked out in white gear, presumably as White Canary. That’ll be fun to see how they make this happen. Legends of Tomorrow is scheduled for midseason, and at present is set for 13 episodes for a full season, but no official word as

Many comic book fans were saddened the other day when it was revealed that NBC had cancelled Constantine. Rumors were going around that DC was shopping it to other networks, but that’s never a guarantee. However, a certain “vigilante” from another DC Comics show has offered to help out if someone decides to “Save Constantine.” Said one Stephen Amell on his Twitter feed: “#SaveConstantine — Hey TV Networks / Netflix and the like… If you pick up the show, I’ll guest star.” Oh, and don’t think he’s joshing because he’s not. Amell is actually quite serious. In fact, there was apparently talks for him to cross over with Constantine anyway should the series continue. Amell elaborated on that at Wizard World yesterday (via ComicBook.com): “Now, Constantine was an NBC show. I’m on The CW. I had had discussions with DC… so not NBC, not CW… but with DC Entertainment about guest starring on Constantine when it was still on the air. And that was and is still on the table.” Now
