Irish actor Emmet Scanlan has signed on as a
recurring guest star on NBC's Constantine,
portraying Jim Corrigan, a.k.a. The Spectre.
Jim Corrigan made his DC Comics debut in
1940, appearing in More Fun Comics #52. In the
comics, Corrigan is a cop who is murdered by a
group of criminals. However, his soul refuses to
enter the afterlife, and Corrigan comes back as
the supernatural justice defender The Spectre. In
the TV series, Corrigan will be a New Orleans
detective who gets caught up in the occult world
of John Constantine ( Matt Ryan ). The character
is a staunch defender of justice, who will even
break the law if it means putting an evil-doer
away.
It remains to be seen whether or not Corrigan
will turn into The Spectre on Constantine. It is
also unclear how many episodes the actor may
be appearing in, and when he may make his
debut.
Constantine will debut with its pilot episode on
Friday, October 24 at 10 PM ET on NBC. Emmet
Scanlan most recently had a small role in the
summer blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy .
He also starred in the Netflix TV series The Fall.
