Constantine is one of the best DC Comics adaptations currently on TV, but for whatever reason, simply not enough people are tuning in every week! Here, star Matt Ryan talks about what's to come and whether he would like to make the leap to the big screen as the Hellblazer character...

"Jim Corrigan is a New Orleans homicide detective and he stumbles across a supernatural event so-to-speak and his world is thrown into bits," Ryan tells "He and John cross paths and at first they go at logger-heads because he doesn’t believe this world. What’s good about Jim and John – that duo – is that they both kind of want the same thing, but they both go about it in completely different ways. They’ve both got dark souls. And they both deal with that darkness in a different way as well. With Jim it’s quite heavy, and with John he’s developed this armour of lightness. Obviously with John it’s a lot deeper rooted. The darker the problem, the lighter he is. But then when you do open that shell in him it’s an outpouring – there’s so much sh*t in there. And in later episodes we really get into all that stuff as well and it’s really been great to play all that dark stuff."



As for who else from the comic books we should expect to see, Ryan dropped a few names which will definitely be familiar to Hellblazer fans. He also teased some possible plans to head over to the UK to reveal exactly what happened in Newcastle. "We’ll be introducing Anne-Marie. If we go past 13 episodes we’ll be introducing Judith. What we’re doing is introducing slowly the Newcastle crew, and what ‘s great is that you get a different element of John through each of these characters because of the different relationships that he has with them. And then there is a possibility of us doing the Newcastle episode – what happened there. Hopefully if all goes well we’ll get to it. I’d love for him to travel to London as well and do an episode there. I think that would be great." Pacific Rim (ugh) director Guillermo del Toro recently revealed that he NBC and DC Comics could not have found a better John Constantine than Matt Ryan, and his passion for the series and love for the character are clear to see. Ratings haven't been terrible so far, but a Friday night slot is not a good one for any show and Constantine isn't bringing in anywhere near the numbers it deserves. With any luck, that will soon change, especially as a number of familiar comic book characters will soon debut. Among them is Jim Corrigan, better known to comic book fans as The Spectre.Ryan tells IGN in a recent interview about his introduction.As for who else from the comic books we should expect to see, Ryan dropped a few names which will definitely be familiar to Hellblazer fans.

would be open to casting Ryan in the long delayed Dark Universe, a.k.a. Justice League Dark, and this is something Ryan

would also be interested in! "

What’s so great is that there’s so many great storylines and the Justice League Dark stuff as well. How fantastic would that be if we could do something like that? Obviously those things are out of my hands, so we’ll see."
