Matt said that he was excited to be the Hellblazer again even if it was not in his own TV series. He adds that John Constantine is such an iconic and amazing character and that he is so fun to play with. He went on to say that the Hellblazer is dark but funny and he was also great.
Ryan said that he was a bit disappointed when “Constantine” was not renewed by NBC for its second season and no other network or streaming service picked it up because he feels that there was an unfinished business left hanging with the character.
So when he was told that he will be taking on the character again, he found it really a great opportunity.
He also confirmed the earlier pronouncements made by Stephen Amell in another interview that it took him quite some time to find his character back again. Ryan said that it was about two or three takes before the physicality of John Constantine came back to him and it turned out quite great.
Ryan also said that Stephen Amell is such a wonderful actor and a great man that he found it a joy to work with him. He adds that Stephen has been a champion of the show “Constantine” since they started and he just finds it fantastic that the two of them were able to finally work together.
