News coming out today, from camp Arrow and The CW today is that Matt Ryan will be reprising his role as Constantine. It may be in the form of a guest role (hoping and praying for more) on the upcoming season, but this fangirl is hopeful.
“It’s a great one-shot episode,” mentioned Mark Pedowitz during the CW’s presentation.
The CW was considered a “last hope” for Constantine (when it was not renewed on NBC) to get a second-season pickup before the cast and crew’s contracts lapsed earlier this summer, which Matt himself was not too happy to admit when we caught up with him earlier this month. Fans have continued to press Arrow producers on the possibility of a crossover, and producers continue to say, essentially, that they hope they can make it happen but have no promises for anyone.
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim had previously said that Constantine was considered as a potential “expert” they could have called upon during Season Three to give Oliver Queen the lowdown on the Lazarus Pit and other seemingly-mystical elements of Ra’s al Ghul’s mythology. While that never happened, magic and mysticism are themes that will be explored to a greater extent in Season Four.
Arrow returns with new episodes starting October 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT Wednesdays on The CW.
