In a recent interview with Collider, Constantine director Neil Marshall was asked about whether or not Matt Ryan’s John Constantine will be allowed to smoke in the series, and the answer might just disappoint some fans! “No we’re not. It’s the one thing, a compromise I guess. On network it’s the one thing you can’t smoke on network. That’s one of his character traits. We’re working around that. We’re trying to get aspects of it in there as much as possible. We’ll see.” As you may already know, the comic book version of Constantine suffers from lung cancer, but actually rids himself of it after selling his soul to two demons and tricking them into curing him. It’s feasible then that this series takes place after those events, hence why he’s no longer a smoker.
