Ryan’s rendition of John Constantine made such an impression on fans though that he was recruited to make a guest appearance as the character on a fall 2015 episode of Arrow entitled “Haunted.” “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an actor so completely bring to life an established comic book character as Matt Ryan did for John Constantine, Between the NBC series and his subsequent appearances on CW, it would feel strange to see or hear anyone else in that role at this point.”
When it was first announced that Welsh actor Matt Ryan was set to take over the role of John Constantine for an NBC TV series in 2014, many fans were skeptical.
Former Constantine TV series showrunner Daniel Cerone offers his thoughts on Matt Ryan’s continuation of the character within The CW’s Arrowverse.
Films aside, one hopes that Matt Ryan has a long future of playing John Constantine in both the TV and animated realms ahead of him.
