It sounds as if John Constantine could be making his way onto Netflix, though who will play the role is uncertain. Last week, Netflix revealed the first castmembers in its adaptation of The Sandman, the popular DC Comics series written by Neil Gaiman. The announcement made no mention of Constantine, but fans of the series know that the character shows up early on in the series, helping to guide Dream to one of his missing tools. Matt Ryan has built up a dedicated fan following playing John Constantine, first in NBC’s Constantine series and then again in the Arrowverse and even voicing the character for DC’s animated films. A website misreported that Taron Egerton is playing Constantine in the Sandman show (Egerton lends his voice to Constantine in the Audible audiobook adaptation of The Sandman, which will return with two more installments), angering at least one fan on Twitter. Gaiman responded to this fan, commenting on both Constantine and Gwendoline Christie playing Lucifer over Tom Ellis.
You can’t get from the Lucifer TV series to Sandman #3 or even Season of Mists. And we haven’t yet announced the casting of Constantine. (That article is just confusing the TV version with the @audible_com version.) https://t.co/5UwyhnljHa
