Marc Guggenheim Talks Constantine On Arrow

Marc Guggenheim was recently interviewed at SuperheroHype.com about his new comic book series, The Infinite Adventures of Jonas Quantum, and while they were talking, he talked about the notion of getting John Constantine (Matt Ryan) on Arrow for the fifth episode of Season Four.

“When you see him in the show, honestly it feels like we’re doing a Constantine/Arrow crossover, and it’s so exciting,” Guggenheim enthused.

“We’re just really glad we got the chance to extend Matt Ryan’s run as Constantine by at least one more hour of television. I think you’ll see he fits very neatly into our universe. It never feels forced, it feels right. Stephen’s on screen vibe with Matt is just very natural, it’s as if these guys had been working together forever. I think people are really going to love the episode. John Badham (‘WarGames,’ ‘Saturday Night Fever’) directed it and it was just a happy circumstance, but John had also directed an episode of Constantine. It all works and it works really effortlessly. It worked effortlessly with a lot of effort I should say. I can’t wait for people to see that episode, if you thought it was a thrill just to see that one shot of Matt in the trailer wait til you see a whole episode with him,” he said.

John Constantine appears in the fifth episode of Arrow Season 4, which by our math should be airing in early November (in a true Constantine fashion, it happens after Halloween!)
