Criminal Minds actor Matt Ryan has landed the title role playing John Constantine in the upcoming NBC series ‘Constantine’….
Another DC character will come to life on the small screen this fall as NBC hopes to make waves with its new series ‘Constantine‘, and now the show has found its leading man.
Matt Ryan — best known for his role in Criminal Minds — will play John Constantine in the upcoming show from DC and NBC.
Constantine first appeared in Swamp Thing back in 1985 and has gone on to star in several of his own comics including the popular Hellblazer series as well as the recent book Justice League Dark.
Here is the plot for the upcoming series:
“John Constantine is described as a working-lass Londoner with rakish good looks, scruffy blond hair, deadpan humor, and signature trench coat, who has been studying the dark arts since he was a teenager. When the daughter of a late friend is targeted by demons, Constantine steps in to save her.”
Production for the series will pick up this summer with a fall 2014 debut date expected.
