First Official Image of Matt Ryan as John Constantine

@jonny_anonymous: Anyway, I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, I'll just let people continue to discuss his appearance in peace.

Look at that sh*t-eating smirk, classic John. :D

perfect cant be mad

awesome!

give him a cigarette.

can't wait for Flash, Constantine and Gotham coming to this show!

Okay... I feel a bit "out of the loop" here. I had no idea they where even planning to give Constantine his own TV series... I gotta say he looks the part, though.

Looks great. But is this guy a good actor?

It's like everyone is getting a show now.

yep, that's constantine all right.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Constantine is in da house!!!

From the picture, I knew it was Constantine before reading the headline. That's a great sign.

They definitely have him looking the part.

Looks legit. Just needs the cigarette.

PLEASE DON'T SCREW THIS UP NBC!

Needs the cig AND the House of Mystery. But yeah, I'm stoked about this Freakin show!

@fables87

At first I was kind of unsure about this being on nbc and not on the cw, but after the cluster f@#k season 2 of arrow has been, I'm actually happy its going to nbc.

Looks cool, but he needs a cigar!

Lookin like a boss right there in that picture!

not bad

Looks great.

I hate his smile and his suit needs more stains

So is he technically a warlock or a sorcerer? That always confused me.

Overall hey they have a guy who looks like Constantine. But that dosen't really matter, have to see how the pilot and subsoquent series turns out. I like Neil Marshall's work and Cerone is a solid writer and thankfully Goyer is too busy to muck this all up.

I've been out of the loop for too long, apparently... I didn't even know there was going to be a Constantine show, much less that its already casted and everything XD

Well, alright then. He looks good, im looking forward to it!

He looks nothing like Sting! Have all the casting people gone apesh!t lately or is it just me? Jesse Eisenberg as Lex, Adam Driver as evil Star Wars baddie. A terrible look for Constantine this guy.

Looks spot on. Can't complain about this.

Liking the look, but I'm also hoping he'll smoke in the series. It's a fairly important part of the character, IMO, and you can't really do "Dangerous Habits" without it. And I'd love to see them do "Dangerous Habits" without Keanu... if the show is any good, that is.

Also wondering how they'll pronounce his name - I'm assuming 'Constanteen'.

Wow, he looks absolutely perfect for this role! I never got into the Hellblazer series nor the New 52 series of Constantine, but I guess I'll check them out depending on how well the Constantine TV series goes

Bloody excellent!

Looks like a real life Constantine!

He certainly looks like Constantine, but I'm waiting to see how he acts. Hopefully the pilot gets picked up.

NOOICE!

Constantine may not be smoking a cigarette, but his covered in smoke.

I forgot this was still happening lol. Looks like Constantine to me! I'm excited!

Can't wait till the show starts!

@the_v0id: clearly Idris Elba should just play everything and everyone

Like I wrote on Bleeding Cool this morning, he looks good.

@onemoreposter said:

I'm right there with you on the front about Reeves' movie. Despite being a rather....... jarring departure from the source material, at least in terms of origin and look, for Constantine(It rhymes with line) it was a good movie. Sometimes that works, like with Blade who's movie was VASTLY different to how he was in the comics.

However unlike Blade, John Constantine as a character is already interesting enough to where he doesn't need to be changed all that much.

Also he looks perfect to me, jumping on the bandwagon right here.

@mrmazz: He's a warlock/magician

You think I look like this guy?

I thought he was a mage... is there a difference?

@jake_fury: Lol no. I seem to recall that you were a big fan of the comic series. Am I remembering wrong?

Never mind I just googled it... I feel pretty stupid.

Looks good, guess they're making him a bit younger than in Hellblazer?

@erik:
Hahaha! I asked my wife if we looked alike and she said no.

Yep, I love Hellblazer (what little I have read) and i even like the new 52 series, outside of the Blight crossover.

Nice!

John did start in the comics in his 30's.

@billy_batson: Ahhh, ok, was going off when it ended.

I think this has real potential to be as big a hit as Smallville and Arrow. It looks like they're trying to keep true to the comics from what little I can gather and hopefully they can lend a similar amount of realism ( relatively speaking) as Arrow.

Wow, they made Constantine look a lot better than I thought they would, I hope this transitions well into a TV show,

I have no complaints for this or the Flash show, obviously Constantine is EASIER to do on every level, I mean magic, witty, wise ass personality with a typical wardrobe and a tie isn't that hard really where is Flash has to have a costume, so yeah....but I'm looking forward to both ;)

Was wondering about that, couldn't they give him "movie fake cigs" or perhaps vapor ecigs?
