Tomorrow night’s episode of Arrow will see John Constantine arrive in Star City to help Oliver Queen and the rest of Team Arrow put Sara Lance’s soul back in her body following her resurrection in Nanda Parbat. This might just be one of the most highly anticipated instalment’s in the show’s history, especially as Matt Ryan is reprising the role of Constantine after his own NBC series was cancelled.
Perhaps, then, that’s why the episode actually leaked online over the weekend. While some fans jumped at the chance to see Green Arrow and Constantine meet, those hoping that high ratings will lead to a return for Ryan’s take on the character somewhere down the line were obviously more than a little peeved. Still, reviews have been very positive, so you’re definitely going to want to check this one out on The CW tomorrow.
Here’s the synopsis for the episode which is titled “Haunted”:
When things take a turn for the worse with Sara (guest star Caity Lotz), Oliver (Stephen Amell) calls in a favor from an old friend who deals in the mystical, John Constantine (guest star Matt Ryan). John Badham directed the episode written by Brian Ford Sullivan & Oscar Balderrama.
This looks set to be a blockbuster episode of Arrow, and if the spoiler-y clip above is anything to go by, Constantine’s role in the show should have major ramifications for what happens next in Star City.
