Constantine returns to the Arrowverse for multiple episodes of ‘Legends’

Constantine is a tough man to kill. NBC tried to kill him off back in 2015, but he came back on Arrow later that year. Now, it sounds like he’ll be cropping up on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow – and for a couple episodes, at that.

According to a press release from Warner Bros., actor Matt Ryan will reprise his role as John Constantine in Legends of Tomorrow‘s upcoming season, which begins tonight. You’ll have to wait a bit, though – the character doesn’t show up until episodes 9 and 10.

The same way Marvel has shows all over the place these days, DC Comics has run shows on a variety of networks in the last few years. One of those experiments was Constantine on NBC. It had its share of fans, but the show struggled on a mainstream network the same way Supergirl did on CBS. Fans hoped the CW would take over the show, much as the network ended up doing for Supergirl, but it never happened. That Arrow guest appearance was all that we got of Constantine until now. There have been hints and outright namedrops. Legends executive producer Phil Klemmer said “it would be a crime” for the magician not to appear on Legends at some point, and said more recently that he’d be appearing in the show’s third season to perform “an exorcism.”
