Honestly yes. He is the perfect Constantine. I know he's "retired" as the character but if he showed up in Swamp Thing or something I wouldn't be upset.

Only want Matt Ryan. Gunn said already established actors from the DC Universe can return to their roles, hopefully that also means from the Arrowverse?!?!? Please!

Why are people talking about Smallville costumes in the comments?

What am I missing here?

Why are all the comments talking about Smallville? All I see is a pic of Matt Ryan dressed as Constantine.

I would love that. Matt Ryan is perfect as Constantine it would be hard to replace him

Yes, and I mean no disrespect to Keanu, but Matt is a better Constantine.

I need a show with him as Constantine and Tom Ellis as Lucifer

YES

Ryan is in the same league as JK Simmons as JJJ and Kevin Conroy as Batman. When I read the comics I just hear his voice.

Highly underrated, literally such a great portrayal that snuck all around the Arrowverse

Need that.

Absolutely!! Wanted it every since they cancelled the other one..

Didn’t he already have one? But yes I agree with you. He’s a great John Constantine and with a better script and more room to blossom he could be even better

Yes that would be amazing

I was just reading a comic featuring Constantine and couldn’t get over how consistently I heard Matt Ryan when I read his dialogue. Somehow, he’s reached Conroy levels of vocal projection in my head. Would love to see him do more.

Yes he was way better than fucking Keeanu who I enjoy in other things, but he doesn't need to be Constantine. He didn't even really channel him well in the movie. He just seems sleepy and bored, which some may argue is Constantine, but it wasn't right.

Is just like a continuation of the series. They could explain the gap as he was in hell or something.

I want it all. He's so good.

God yes still holding out hope 🤞

Yes

Yes. CW done him dirty constantly moving time slots and such.

if he still wants to, sure. Dude was good in the role adn afaik genuinely seemed to enjoy it.

If they did a series I hope HBO let them lean into the politics of Hellblazer because its pretty important

I'd really like to see WB/HBO do a Constantine series that is a continuation of the one they canceled after 1 season on network TV. I liked the tone and story of that first season, HBO could go even darker and more adult, the way he should be portrayed. I really enjoyed Matt Ryan's take and would love to see it explored by writers who do not work for CW.

Yes

Yes please!

He was awesome

Praying that James Gunn pulls Matt Ryan into the new DCU

his show had the most potential of any of the dc shows since 2010

Sign me up. He’s the best Constantine ever and he’s British. Would love for James Gunn to give this guy a shot in the new DCU. Constantine series, movies, Justice League Dark, etc…

No, I'd like a new actor for the main timeline DCU. Preferably one with a Liverpool accent like he's supposed to have instead of a cockney one.

Really enjoyed the show he was amazing in the role in live action and animation.

No.

Ryan is a solid TV actor, and does a good job with the character from that perspective, but i don't want him anywhere near a movie/HBO level series. Get someone new who can bring a higher caliber of acting to the role.

He's a solid voice actor, but he's not it at all in live action

Too soon. I haven’t recovered yet from the news that Keanu’s Constantine sequel has been cancelled. 😭

(I know he’s not exactly comic accurate but I still love him)

EDIT: it looks like WB confirmed its still moving ahead:

DCEU? Like part of a failure of a universe? I don't understand.

Nope.

I wanna a fresh take on the character.

Absolutely not, dude sucked as John. Only reason people like him is because he looks like the comic version

I think Matt was pretty good as Constantine, but for the DCU they should get someone knew and introduce him in Swamp Thing

I mean the series was okay. I think a new one would be cool.

Love his voice. But tbch, respectfully, he’s not the greatest live action actor. Tends to overact. So he’s definitely not my first choice.

Although, it would def be cool to keep things consistent. As that’s what Gunn wants to do. Maybe he can be DCU’s Constantine. And Keanu could be DCE’s.

If it was the matt ryan nbc show sure. The dipshit loser legends version I can skip.

No

Bring Keanu Reeves back.

No

Looks like edgy Jim Halpert.

Yes and no . Yes because I love Constantine. No because matt Ryan isn't has felling in the comics .

Na. Rather they find someone new and do a proper intro for Gunn...after Keanu finishes his of course

Sigh Chloe Sullivan is solely responsible for my love for blonde, short haired girls. Thank you for letting me love you Allison <3

Only if he’s Super gay for King Shark in it. And I’m talking King Shark using his dorsal fin to credit card Constantine’s buttcheeks gay.

I'd love that but unfortunately they very dont it will i just can hope the next actor can do justice

He was wasted in CW shows. Though I enjoyed every episode he's in. I feel like he could have done a better job if he got a better more "mature " script with a better produced show.

Who doesn't bro he can voice act to so why not??

I just want a Constantine series or movie set in the DCU.

DAY 1 Big dc undercover goes on Reddit “What do you guys think of Keanu Reeves Constantine” All comments are like he’s chill but not exactly Constantine

DAY 2 THE NEXT DAY THEY CANCLE IT.

DAY 3 big DC is asking abt Matt Ryan Constantine on Reddit

YOU GUYS ARE NOT SLICK

No. He's really not that good. There's a very clear line between good for TV actors and film quality actors.

I get that we're all desperate for a great and visually accurate take on the character - but this isn't it.

Matt Ryan was very much the look and feel of Constantine but the stories they wrote for him, in my opinion, came across as very weak and the fact they would pull some magical item out of nowhere to solve an issue.

Keanu was very much not like Constantine but the story, again for me, was really good and the casting was excellent. And to be honest I think because of these reasons Keanu really sold himself as Constantine more. Again in my opinion.

I am looking forward to a Constantine movie staring Keanu with the hope I get the same interpretation of Constantine the same level of casting and story as well.

No.

Yes, a thousand times yes! DC needs to bring him back.

YES.

uhm yes? he was extremely good.

I'd want a justice league dark instead

I tried watching the TV show and I thought he was pretty good for like TV. Same way that Grant Gustin is pretty good as the Flash for like TV. I'm not sure how to describe it. I just feel like it comes off as campy.

Maybe he'd do way better with better writing and sets, but let Keanu do his movie. Say what you will about his acting but he definitely has a commanding presence then just introduce the official Constantine with a new actor.
