"We are super-crazy excited about this," confesses executive producer Marc Guggenheim of the "one-time-only deal" currently scheduled for the fifth episode of Arrow's upcoming fourth season. "Each year on the show, we have added and expanded the mythology with different elements. In Season 2 we introduced the idea of superpowers, last year brought in the League of Assassins, and for Season 4, we always had a plan to introduce magic and mysticism," he says, pointing to Ra's al Ghul's Resurrection Pit as an early taste of the otherworldy. "We were already swimming in those waters and that's why Constantine is this great organic little development."
Without spoiling the whole story, Guggenheim hints that the master of the dark arts will factor into the fallout from bringing Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) back to life via the Lazarus Pit. "Unlike Thea, who wasn’t fully dead, the consequences of using the pit on someone as dead as Sara was creates some unforeseen difficulties...and John Constantine is uniquely suited to help our team deal with those."
