Over the weekend the cast of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow came together for a panel at the San Diego ComicCon@Home event. Whilst they brought with them an awesome new trailer for the back half of season 6, they also brought some sad news.
It was confirmed by actor Matty Ryan that John Constantine will exit the Waverider by the end of the season. Whilst the news is sure to disappoint fans of the character there is still a glimmer of hope.
Ryan also confirmed that he will be remaining with the show. Showrunner Phil Klemmer and co-executive producer Keto Shimizu have invented a new character, Dr. Gwyn Davies, an “eccentric scientist” from the early 1900s. He’ll be vital to the team’s mission in the upcoming seventh season.
“As everyone who loves him knows, in the end, John Constantine will walk his path alone,” said Ryan. “The time has come for John to part ways with the Legends, and for me to part ways with John. I’m really excited to be creating this new role on the show and having some fun with it — discovering how this new character fits in and causes some trouble for the Legends.”
