The one thing I say about John is this: at every point on my journey with John, there were all these stops. One thing I’ve learned from playing him over the years: you never say never in this business. But who knows? At the moment, John Constantine, he’s not in the room. It’s Gwyn Davies, and I’ll leave it at that, basically, and say, ‘Who knows?’ That’s a question for the other realms!”
