First Image Of Matt Ryan As 'Constantine' Makes You Forget About Keanu

Below is the first official image from NBC's television adaptation of DC Comics book, Constantine, formerly known as Hellblazer. Obviously this version of John Constantine is aiming at the appearance of the New 52 version of the character who is much younger than the version from original Hellblazer comics. Another noticeable missing attribute is that John Constantine has not been seen smoking yet, however David Goyer recently noted that the smoking aspect of the character is being negotiated with NBC.

The pilot is directed by Neil Marshall.

"Constantine follows enigmatic and irreverent Liverpool con-man-turned-occult-detective John Constantine, who is reluctantly thrust into the role of defending our world against dark forces from beyond."
