Oh, boy. It seems as if Constantine can’t get a break these days. The fan-favorite demon slayer was recently booted from cable television after his eponymous show Constantine floundered at NBC. Fans, however, were hopeful the hero might redeem himself on the CW – and a well-received cameo on Arrow seemed to confirm the character’s pull. But, now, Arrow‘s creator is crushing those hopes by saying the show’s unsure if Constantine will ever return to the Arrowverse.

Speaking at one of the TCA’s press tour stops, creator Greg Berlanti said his team hasn’t, “had any conversations with them about Constantine,” with ‘them’ undoubtedly being executives with say over the character. So, maybe Warner Bros. is getting involved now?
Regardless of who’s got say of what, this kind of news won’t be making lots of fans happy.
When Berlanti was pressed to answer why Constantine may not return with a bigger role, the creator took time to explain that, “Constantine exists in a certain place in the DC world and universe.” As such, Berlanti believes higher-ups at CW are still, “…internally examining what they want to do with that character next.”
Surely, fans will be curious as to what the examination reveals, especially since CW is the network investigating. After all, when Constantine was canceled after its first season, many had hoped the network would pick up the series. However,no such thing happened. And, recently, fans again grew hopeful that CW might revive the series after they started streaming Constantine on its website, CW Seed. But, yet again, those hopes were dashed and fans were left distraught.
Obviously, there are still plenty of fans who want to see Constantine return to TV, and I have a gut feeling the DC character won’t be held back for too long. However, whether the character’s appearance comes in a reboot or revival, that’s definitely up for debate. One thing, however, is for sure though:
Arrow fans really did enjoy Constantine’s cameo, no doubt. So, if Star City should ever run into unwanted demonic forces in some upcoming season, Team Arrow has an expert they could call. That is, unless Constantine changed his number.
