Another day, another reboot but this time, we’re actually excited to see how it’ll turn out.
This time around, DC Comic’s Constantine is getting a reboot series and it’s got JJ Abrams on board to direct it!
Fans will know that Constantine comic has previously received its own movie starring Keanu Reeves, and a series starring Matt Ryan that was sadly cancelled in 2015 due to low ratings.
But now, we’re about to get more from the demon hunter and former con artist who turned his attention to sending dark, supernatural beings back to their own realms.
Star Wars, Star Trek and Lost’s JJ Abrams is set to direct the upcoming series which will be written by Guy Bolton.

According to Deadline, the series will see Constantine returning in the form of a young Londoner from a diverse background.
A source shared with The Illuminerdi that the reboot series would be a darker reinvention of the character and “will be less focused on religion, and more focused on the horror elements from the Constantine comics.”
Details about the upcoming series are scarce but it’s been reported that it will most likely tie into the Justice League Dark series that is also currently in development from JJ Abram’s Bad Robot.
As of now, the series is searching for the perfect Constantine to take on the role but fans of course have their own suggestions on who should become the new Constantine.

No no and also no. Matt Ryan is the only person who should play Constantine. As much as he'd be a great version of the character. @mattryanreal is the perfect Constantine

This is the only Constantine I Want and Need! Matt Ryan is John Constantine! Also Constantine knows Lucifer Morningstar from earth-666 so he isn't new to traveling to different earths. pic.twitter.com/VHrtPsAUd9
