I believe they've also said John Constantine is in it, but I don't think casting has been announced other than it's not Matt Ryan.

John is barely in the original story, and I'm betting they are write out the rest of the Justice League. The radio adaptation has them all though.

She's John's ancestor from I think Victorian times. Personality wise she's pretty close to a gender swapped John, except she also pretends to be an aristocrat. In addition to her part in Sandman there's also a decent Lady Constantine mini.

In the actual Sandman comic Lady Johanna shows up for like two issues, the one where Hob and Morpheus hang out over the course of hundreds of years and then again when Morpheus tasks her to retrieve Orpheus from France during the revolution.

There's actually a bit more detail in the press release and it sounds like they may be including the issue where John shows up but just using Coleman in the role as well as in the flashbacks.

I wouldn't give a poo poo about gender swapping the character but this would be garbage. It's either laziness in casting or changing Constantine to be a two hundred year old immortal. Both would be poo poo.

Ehh, it's pretty common in tv shows to have an actor also play their ancestor (though it's often the main character of a show).

Jenna Coleman playing some kinda of immortal being that crosses time and space to fight otherworldly beings, I sure hope she's up to it!

So for anyone who isn't watching Superman and Lois, this week's episode introduced the Arrowverse version of John Henry Irons/Steel.

It's literally the same trick as Supergirl pulled at this point in it's first season. Black man playing normally white villain from the Superman mythos... lol, nope, he's actually secretly well-known ally of Superman's who is normally portrayed as Black

Yeah after thinking about it for a couple of seconds I realized that it is almost exactly the same as what happened on Supergirl. Although he'll probably stay a villain for a little longer.

Don't think I've ever read a Steel comic in my life but having him instead of another Luthor is far more exciting.

social media intern intended it to be hashtag moonknight, then realized their style guide insisted that hashtags only go at the end of posts, removed the pound sign but forgot to hit the space

I somehow read that entire Sandman casting thing and completely didn't parse that Death is Kirby Howell-Baptiste from The Good Place! That's fuckin' rad.

Jupiter's Legacy canceled. Definitely seems like Netflix is getting quick on the draw for canceling poo poo.

As the tweet says, it's just bigotry. No amount of comics lore debate is going to fix the problem of these idiots being against Black or non-binary people in general.

I'm not saying there's not someone somewhere complaining about a non binary actor playing Desire, but when Neil Gaiman said he hates that poo poo he was replying to someone complaining about Howell-Baptiste playing Death and was the only person in that conversation talking about it. Absolutely wouldn't be surprised if he was referencing fights with corporate executives who thought Desire should be played by a busty model though.

I think the absolute closest you can get to making a point about the Death casting without just being a bigot is saying that Dream and Death should look alike being that they're the closest of the siblings, but that's just as much an argument for a Black actor to play Dream as it is for a white woman to play Death.

Yeah and not only a dud but a $200 million dollar dud. Now we get the next project just because it has to be made which doesn’t bode well. The pacing was super weird. You could probably knock it out in two six episode seasons but I’m sure that wouldn’t work for Netflix.

I think he's referring to the Millarworld acquisition, though reports at the time suggest it was in the $50m-100m range. but the point stands, even if it's a bit exaggerated
