Could DC’s Constantine Be Coming To Lucifer?

Over on TV Line, showrunner Ildy Modrovich answered a fan’s burning question about the possible crossover. The executive said, “Never say never, but right now we have no plans for him.”

“We might invite a little character from the comic books, Cain, at some point,” she continuedAs for Lucifer, the character was introduced in The Sandman as a supporting character. The character acts as the Devil, and Gaiman’s iteration of the hellish lord is a complex one. In the comics, Lucifer has ruled over Hell for 10 billion years and become bored with his feared reputation. He eventually decided to hand over the keys of hell to another character so he could explore the world, but he soon learned that his placement in Hell was not a punishment but a gift.

In his solo series, Lucifer runs a piano bar and learns what exactly free-will means. During his run, Lucifer met up with several different DC characters, and one of them was Constantine. The character is the star of the Hellblazer comics, and the paranormal detective was keen on discovering why Lucifer was hanging around outside of Hell.

If Constantine were to come to Lucifer, fans would definitely want to see Matt Ryan return as the hero. The actor played Constantine in the recent television adaptation of Hellblazer over on NBC, but the show was canceled after one season. Earlier this year, Ryan was asked whether he would want to reprise his role as Constantine, and the actor seem optimistic he would don the character’s coat once more.
