Jimmy Leszczynski
Digging deep into their deep bench of beloved DC characters, Warner Bros. Animation is bringing us DC Showcase: Constantine – The House of Mystery. Judging by the attached trailer, Constantine's (Matt Ryan) journey begins slightly after the events that unfolded in Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, as he is seemingly punished for his role in the conflict. What happens next is sure to shatter the occult detective's mind. With WonderCon 2022 just around the corner, WB has released 4 new images from the upcoming showcase.
The popular DC Showcase line of animated shorts also shines a light on Kamandi: The Last Boy On Earth!, The Losers, and Blue Beetle (have all appeared as enhanced content on past DC Universe Movies) in the 2021-2022 compilation release. DC Showcase: Constantine – The House of Mystery makes its public debut as the anchor for this dynamic shorts compilation. The R-rated (for "Some Bloody Violence") shorts collection will be available from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Blu-ray and in 4K on Digital starting May 3, 2022.
Matt Ryan (Constantine, Legends of Tomorrow) reprises his live-action and animated role as the Hellblazer himself in Constantine – The House of Mystery. In the all-new short, John Constantine wakes up in the eerie House of Mystery with no recollection of how he got there. Fortunately, Zatanna and his friends are all there. Unfortunately, they have a bad habit of turning into demons and ripping him to shreds, over and over again! Camilla Luddington (Grey's Anatomy) and Ray Chase (Licorice Pizza) reprise their roles from Justice League Dark: Apokolips War as Zatanna and Jason Blood/Etrigan, respectively, while Robin Atkin Downes (The Strain) and Damian O'Hare (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) reprise their roles from Constantine: City of Demons as Negral and Chas, respectively. In addition, Grey Griffin (Scooby-Doo franchise) and Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Longmire, Young Guns) join the cast of the short, which is directed by Matt Peters (Injustice) from a script by Ernie Altbacker (Batman: Hush).
