How to watch Constantine in order

John Constantine, the chain-smoking occult detective from DC's Hellblazer comics, has appeared in a live-action film, his own TV show, the Arrowverse and DC's animated movies. Here is how to watch all of it.

Few DC characters have bounced between as many continuities as John Constantine. Keanu Reeves played him in the cult-favorite 2005 film, while Matt Ryan took over the role on NBC and never really let go, carrying the character into Arrow, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and several animated projects. Because these versions overlap, knowing what to watch and in which order saves a lot of confusion.

πŸ• Release Order

Here is every major Constantine screen appearance in the order it was released.

  1. Constantine (2005)
  2. Constantine (2014)
  3. Arrow: Haunted (2015)
  4. Justice League Dark (2017)
  5. DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 (2017)
  6. Constantine: City of Demons (2018)
  7. DC's Legends of Tomorrow Seasons 4-5 (2018)
  8. Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
  9. Constantine: The House of Mystery (2022)

Release order bounces between the Arrowverse and the animated universe, which can be jarring. Grouping Matt Ryan's appearances by continuity gives each storyline room to breathe.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

This order follows the Arrowverse first, then the animated films, and leaves the standalone Keanu Reeves movie for last.

  1. Constantine (2014)
  2. Arrow: Haunted (2015)
  3. DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 (2017)
  4. DC's Legends of Tomorrow Seasons 4-5 (2018)
  5. Justice League Dark (2017)
  6. Constantine: City of Demons (2018)
  7. Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
  8. Constantine: The House of Mystery (2022)
  9. Constantine (2005)

Which Order Should You Choose?

If you just want a moody supernatural thriller, the 2005 film works perfectly on its own. Fans of Matt Ryan's version should follow the story chronology, since the NBC series flows directly into his Arrow cameo and Legends of Tomorrow run. The animated movies form their own continuity and can be watched afterward as a darker, more comic-accurate take on the character.
