New Details on Constantine’s Involvement in ARROW
When we first learned that Matt Ryan would be reprising his role of John Constantine in The CW’s Arrow, fans were excited as hell! The only information we had to go off of at the time was that the episode would be titled "Haunted," and we had this brief description:
“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.”
Thanks to producer Marc Guggenheim, we have a few more details on what Constantine’s involvement will involve. Apparently it’s tied to the fallout from Sara Lance’s upcoming resurrection and transformation into the White Canary via the Lazarus Pit ahead of Legends of Tomorrow. Guggenheim told TV Insider:
“Unlike Thea, who wasn’t fully dead, the consequences of using the pit on someone as dead as Sara was creates some unforeseen difficulties, and John Constantine is uniquely suited to help our team deal with those.”
Damn, it’s going to be fun to see Constantine team up with Oliver Queen to take on these supernatural forces!
