Guillermo Del Toro can't stop, won't stop. The filmmaker's goton the horizon, and he'll move onto a much smaller film next as a buffer before he tackles. Del Toro's also the man in charge of the WB's, a stable of DC characters that could eventually show up in their own team-up film. While the director is too busy to consider any side projects, it seems as if he still has plenty of ideas.Speaking to IGN , Guillermo Del Toro reveals that he'd be willing to let the television incarnations of certain characters (specifically John Constantine) join the other characters on the big screen. When asked about The Spectre, he said he'd love to have him on board, and is open to having television's John Constantine in the film:By the by, if you're only a hardcore Marvel head, Constantine and The Spectre are actually cool characters that would translate really well to film.has already had his shot, both with the Keanu Reeves movie of the same name (which actually bore little resemblance to the source material) and now an NBC show.
