Constantine General Discussion Thread

[Sawyer]

The way they describe it, it sounds like she's meant to be regular character. I can't imagine they'd be secretive if that were the case. I guess we'll see what is said when she's cast.

 

[Mr. Dent]

this is going to be confusing for those of us who like football.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh please. We've had, like, four different male Robins in the comics that all look practically identical. I think we can all handle this one.

 

[Mr. Dent]

But football fans are the lowest common denominator

 

[flickchick85]

Maybe its all the Assassins Creed I've been playing lately, but I like this Constantine casting a lot.

Matt Ryan is a graduated of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company so he can definitely act.

Alumni of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School include Daniel Day Lewis, Naomie Harris and Jeremy Irons.

John is described as a working-class Londoner with deadpan humor who is a mysterious conman and occult detective
haunted by the recent loss of a young girl's soul. No stranger to the dark underworld that exists parallel to our own, Constantine has been studying the dark arts since he was a teenager. He's taught himself spells, rituals, curses and conjuring, but the one person he most wishes to see -- his mother, who died giving birth to him -- remains out of reach, at least so far. When Liv, the daughter of a late friend, is targeted by demons, Constantine steps in to save her and the two form an alliance.

I will fanboy out if the young girls soul John lost is Astra Logue

I'm guessing they aren't going to have John's mother die after her husband Thomas gave her a metal coat-hanger abortion that lead to her death and the death of John's twin brother (Golden boy).

 

[The Englishman]

He's not from Liverpool then?

The actor or this version of the character?

 

[NosfeRomas]

I really like the casting !!! I am so happy they are delving deeper into the Hellblazer mythos. If the girl who lost her soul is Astral and the whole thing is the first encounter with Nergal at the Casanova Club then oh my god !!! I can't wait !

 

[chamber-music]

I hope Succubus Chantinelle makes an appearance and they do the storyline with her and John bringing the fall of Gabriel.

 

[Sawyer]

I saw on Twitter that Papa Midnite is in the pilot as well.

The Character

 

[NosfeRomas]

I hope Succubus Chantinelle makes an appearance and they do the storyline with her and John bringing the fall of Gabriel.

I want a proper Dangerous Hbbits adaptation first. I am prepared to shed tears in a scene with John and Brendand drinking !!

 

[LordofhouseEl]

But real talk, thank the Lord he is British. Now just die his hair blond and it will be complete. I am SO psyched for this casting.

His Welsh hardly "British", then again its a lot closer than casting a guy from America.

 

[roach]

He looks nothing like Keanu

Good.

Erm.....He is Welsh so he is British..

 

[Loki882]

Yeah, Wales is part of Great Britain. So he IS British. I'd like to see Epiphany Greaves appear at some point as well. However, given her storyline, she probably should show up in season 1, but later.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

What about the books of magic characters? Think we'll see them pop up?

Also, how is this going to mesh with Justice League Dark?

 

[chamber-music]

Erm.....He is Welsh so he is British..

When he wants to do a magical incantation he can speak Welsh

 

[The Englishman]

When he wants to do a magical incantation he can speak Welsh

That would actually be cool....he still should be a Scouser though..

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

so just curious where does this leave the whole justice league dark

or has it become another member of the del toro never gonna happen pile like mountains of madness and haunted mansion

 

[Man in the Suit]

Justice League Dark will probably never happen. I mean, we don't even have the real Justice League yet.

 

[Jason Kane]

He looks nothing like Keanu

You got a problem with that?...
