It’s official - ‘Justice League Dark’ is going a bit darker.

No, not the live-action ‘Justice League Dark’ movie which began life with Guillermo del Toro - we’re talking about the new DC Universe Animated Original Movie, which will be led by none other than Matt Ryan as John Constantine.



That’s right - TV’s Constantine is returning for the animated film.

Appearing online via IGN, the Official ‘Justice League Dark’ trailer gives us an impressive look at DC’s latest animated offering. But it’s no mere cartoon. After the success of ‘Batman: The Killing Joke’ - DC’s latest animated feature film - it looks as though ‘Justice League Dark’ is going to be getting the same R-Rated treatment.



And that seems like a pretty good fit.



Here’s the official synopsis:

“Justice League Dark finds the world under attack from supernatural forces that prompts the Justice League’s Batman to seek aid from occult investigator John Constantine. Constantine forms a team of other supernatural superheroes - Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna, and Etrigan the Demon - to help save the world.”



Of course, this is not to be confused with the upcoming live-action project, which currently has ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ director Doug Liman at the helm, and is expected to begin filming next year under the new title, ‘Dark Universe’.



‘Justice League Dark’ also has a pretty impressive voice cast, starring Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman, Jerry O’Connell as Superman, and Jason O’Mara as Batman. They’re also joined by Alfred Molina as Destiny, Jeremy Davies as Ritchie, Camilla Luddington as Zatanna, Nicholas Turturro as Deadman, Ray Chase as Etrigan, and Enrico Colantoni as the villainous Felix Faust. Roger R. Cross will voice both Swamp Thing and John Stewart, while Matt Ryan returns to the role of John Constantine following the short-lived TV show.



Jay Oliva directed the animated movie based on a script by J.M. DeMatteis and Ernie Altbacker.

‘Justice League Dark’ heads to Digital as well as DVD and Blu-ray in 2017.
