That was until he was thrown full force into the DCTV universe. Ryan has now guested on Legends of Tomorrow season 3 and voiced the character in the animated movie Justice League Dark and animated series Constantine: City of Demons. “There was this moment where I was like, ‘this is wrong. This doesn’t feel like John.’” he told us at Wonder Con. After finishing a play in London, where he was using a thick Yorkshire accent (Constantine himself has more of Northern accent), he found he couldn’t quite get the voice of the character right. Without that the whole character wasn’t working. “I was like, ‘this is wrong, man. Where the fuck is he?’” Ryan is excited by how his character will interact with the Legends team going forward, now that he’ll be a lead character in season four. Ryan believes that animation will be the perfect place for fans of the original Hellblazer comics to see those stories adapted to the screen. Constantine will be sharing the spotlight in Legends but in the animated world he can take center stage. “My job now is to go back to the comics and kind of see how much more I can glean and gather from what I haven’t read and re-read some of the stuff to find more interesting things to him to him and play with it,” he says. After so many starts and stops in getting the Constantine character back on screen, Ryan has learned to never say never when it comes to where the characters will end up. “Every time I thought it was dead they’ve pulled me back in.” Shamus Kelley is a pop culture/television writer and official Power Rangers expert. Follow him on Twitter!
