However, it seems that John Constantine would not be appearing on “Arrow” anytime soon or perhaps even in the future.
According to “Arrow” executive producer Marc Guggenheim, Constantine’s appearance on The CW series has been planned even before NBC canceled “Constantine” in the spring of last year.
Guggenheim said that it was just a one-off deal which came out as a result of the previous discussion of a crossover between “Constantine” and “Arrow.” But since “Constantine” has already been canceled, Ryan and Stephen Amell pushed through with the deal just the same just for one time.
The rumors of the possible return of John Constantine on “Arrow” started when the episode that featured his character was well-received by fans and critics alike.
It’s water under the bridge now but “Constantine” would have been in the second half of its supposed Season 2 by this time on NBC had the show not been canceled in May last year, just weeks after its Season 1 finale.
But now, it all depends on Warner Bros Television and DC Comics whether they believe that “Constantine” deserves another shot on the small screen soon or in the future.
Really would love to see them being back the series. I know it didn’t get the greatest ratings but now that it is somewhat a part of the Arrowverse I think that alone could boost the ratings, plus many like me just didn’t realize it was there until it was too late. I’m not going to get my hopes up but it would be amazing!
Please DC we need another session of Constantine that would be a dream come true.
Since they have gone to great lengths to make their TV and film project completely disconnected, it is unreasonable to refer to the various TV shows as part of the DC extended multiverse. They have forced the TV shows to relinquish characters, and there are going to be two different Flashes.
I really enjoyed this show. Would love to see it back. Especially on a monday or friday on CW. Also note that Agent Carter (Now Cancelled) and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are on ABC not FOX
This show has REALLY strong potential. I hope it gets another go, especially on CW.
I can understand the disconnect between TV and film. You set yourself up on an expensive route otherwise. I like that Marvel does it, but I prefer the disconnect because you can two different types of approaches, which DC does often.
In fact, I’m amazed Marvel does it because i think it would be incredibly expensive to keep the same actors, and when you can’t get them you have to sacrifice the story to accommodate.
Interesting times.
