J. J. Abrams is carving his own corner of the DC Comics’ cinematic universe, with a mission to build out a “Dark Universe” of shows at HBO Max around DC’s superhero titles. And the first piece of the puzzle may now be in place, as Illuminerdi reports that Abrams may have found the right actor play the character of John Constantine, the immortal British magician: Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù.

Previously, Abrams had been rumored to be eyeing Oscar Isaac for Constantine, but Isaac has since taken the titular role in Marvel’s Disney Plus series Moon Knight. Since then, HBO Max has been fairly insistent that the next actor to play the role should be black.
