One of the biggest stories over the past few days was when news broke that NBC had cancelled “Constantine.” Hot off the heels of the announcement “Arrow” star Stephen Amell offered to guest star on the show if another network picked it up.
During a panel at Wizard World Philly over the weekend Amell revealed that there was already an idea pitched for “Arrow” to crossover with “Constantine” and also revealed that any of the DC television shows are able to crossover with each other.
“There is an opportunity for interconnectivity with any DC television show that exists. Like, as an example, yesterday Constantine was cancelled. I know, it’s brutal… It’s a good show, and it should come back. And it may come back, like there are various platforms where it could come back.” Amell said according to ComicBook.com.
“Constantine is an NBC show, I’m on the CW. I had discussions with DC Comics — not NBC or the CW — DC Entertainment about guest starring on Constantine when it was on the air. That was and is on the table.” he continued.
Stephen then went into more details about a potential crossover with “Constantine” and mentioned an idea that was on the table.
“The reason that I was going to guest star on Constantine, at least the idea that we were throwing around, was [Constantine’s] an expert when it comes to the Lazarus Pit, which is now something that is a part of, and will continue to be a part of, Arrow.”
He also told fans not to worry about the fact that the movie and television universes are two separate things. He emphasized the fact that DC has a lot of characters on television and there are a lot of options for potential crossovers in the future.
“We have Flash, we have Legends of Tomorrow, a new show which is directly connected to the Arrow universe, we have Supergirl, directed by my good friend Glen Winter. That pilot, I can’t wait to see it, I’m sure it’s going to be amazing. There’s Gotham obviously, and I’m missing something… Titans, there you go. So again, I wouldn’t worry too much about the movie universe, because we have no shortage of options for me and other characters to populate.” Amell said.
