The Television Critic’s Association press tour is happening and CW’s presentation included some great news for fans of the recently cancelled NBC series Constantine as it was revelaed that star Matt Ryan will appear as the character in the upcoming fourth season of Arrow. Ryan is set to reprise his role as John Constantine for a single episode of Arrow, but could potentially lead to something more.

This is not the first time that Arrow has branched out to other parts of the DC Universe – beginning the origin story of Barry Allen as The Flash – which gave room for his own series, and other series guest stars lead to the upcoming Legends Of Tomorrow.

There are big things coming for DC Comics TV series with crossover’s spinoffs, and now this humungous leap between Constantine and Arrow proves that CW (and DC) want to do big things on the small screen.

The episode doesn’t have an official release date as of yet, but an official description was released.

From ComingSoon.net:

John Constantine is a weather worn exorcist and expert on the supernatural and the occult. He is a detective, magician, and a hunter of demons, and will provide critical support to Oliver when arrows aren’t enough.

“We are thrilled to have Matt Ryan reprise the role of John Constantine on an upcoming episode of Arrow,” says executive producer Marc Guggenheim. “Matt is an incredibly talented actor and his portrayal of this beloved character was always something we admired. The introduction of magic and mysticism on the show this season has provided a truly organic opportunity for us to bring John Constantine to ‘Arrow’ and the CW’s DC Universe. It will be a well-deserved tip of the hat to all the Constantine fans who were so incredibly supportive of that series.”
