Though many of you reading this no doubt lament NBC’s cancellation of Constantine to this day, you have to admit that its early demise certainly opened up a world of possibilities for the character. Had the plug not been pulled, the charismatic demonologist would’ve never been introduced into the Arrowverse, let alone granted a recurring role on Legends of Tomorrow, in addition to a headlining gig in his own animated web series/movie, that being City of Demons.
Truth be told, despite the fact that the time traveling superhero series has already built up quite the rapport with its fanbase, it’s arguable that seeing Constantine taking residence aboard the Waverider just might be the major drawing point this season. Hey, as much as I dug what the show’s third year had to offer, seeing John being his arrogant self on a regular basis strikes me as being highly appealing.
Understandably, there are those of you wondering how room will be made for him, but it’s important we not forget about several vacancies opening up on board the ship. In fact, executive producer Keto Shimizu recently told TV Line of how Nate Heywood will remain in 2018 for a time to partake in “a very real story” involving his dad. Constantine, meanwhile, will claim his bunk from the sound of it.
What’s even funnier is that, according to executive producer and showrunner Phil Klemmer, “He doesn’t like to wear a lot of clothing going to and from the shower…” Having gotten that out in the open, it should be, um, interesting to see how the rest of the crew react to their newfound ally parading around in his birthday suit. And perhaps it’ll provide a smooth segue into us learning about his past loves.
For more, be sure to check out this synopsis that started circulating not long ago:
After defeating Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends were ready to ease off the gas. That was until Constantine arrived to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. So when all hell breaks loose, who ya gonna call? That’s right, the Legends!
Legends of Tomorrow returns for its fourth season on Monday, October 22 on The CW.
