After being prematurely yanked
of the air, John Constantine has been given a new lease on life by The CW. The
network has announced today at the TCA's that they have decided to have the
master of the dark arts guest star on their hit superhero drama, Arrow.
So far Constantine has only
been confirmed for one episode, the fifth one in Arrow's fourth season. Titled
Haunted, the press release describes briefly, yet spoilery how John will be
introduced to Arrow.
John Constantine is a
weather worn exorcist and expert on the supernatural and the occult. He
is a detective, magician, and a hunter of demons, and will provide critical
support to Oliver (Stephen Amell) when arrows aren’t enough.
Arrow's executive producer
Marc Guggenheim also spoke of the brief addition of Matt Ryan to the cast of
Arrow's fourth season.
"We are thrilled
to have Matt Ryan reprise the role of John Constantine on an upcoming episode
of Arrow. Matt is an incredibly talented actor and his portrayal of this
beloved character was always something we admired. The introduction of magic
and mysticism on the show this season has provided a truly organic opportunity
for us to bring John Constantine to Arrow and the CW’s DC universe. It will be
a well-deserved tip of the hat to all the Constantine fans who were so
incredibly supportive of that series."
Constantine's demise was not very well accepted by fans of the show, who
demanded that it would be given a second chance on a new time slot, or that at
least it would be moved to a different network like The CW. Constantine's
one-shot revival will certain put a lot of smiles on many faces.
