Hey ! I … I greet that hombre ! That ’s John Constantine , observe magician / asshole ! This firsty prescribed picture of Matt Ryan as the titular character is some major proof that the NBC pilot is looking to stay tight to the comic ’s ascendant .
For comparison :
Not risky , NBC — not bad at all . Casting John Constantine as a British guy who dresses like John Constantine ? Pretty ballsy of you , and by “ pretty ballsy ” I signify “ unusually competent . ” Unfortunately , manufacturer David S. Goyer has said that Constantine ’s trademark chemical chain - smoke may not make it to to the television receiver show , as networks are loathe to show such a distasteful , socially unacceptable practice . In unrelated news , Law & Order SVU once had an episode about a 12 - year - old criminate of rap and murder a cancer patient . I do n’t think anyone smoked though , give thanks goodness !
Update : The first official pic is abive . The original behind - the - scenes photo , from theSlates for SarahFacebook Sir Frederick Handley Page , is this one :
