John Constantine in the HBO Max series can play the British of Nigerian origin Sope Dirisu

According to The Illuminerdi website, Warner Bros. is considering the Nigerian-born British Sope Dirisu ("London Gang") for the lead role in the solo series about John Constantine for the streaming service HBO Max.

It is reported that the new interpretation of history will explore more elements of horror rather than focusing on religious aspects. The script will be prepared by a little-known author Guy Bolton.

Last week, The Illuminerdi also revealed the show's working title, Chimney, and Knights Edge Media shared the logline (a summary of the script) and the casting of the two roles.

"The series combines urban eshken, body horror and elements of the supernatural on the streets of modern London. History follows a young man, the whole world the cunning world of occultism. "

They are looking for an actress for the role of Akara, which is described as a 10-year-old Cambodian girl who occupies a central place in history, as well as a candidate for the role of her 60-year-old grandfather Peach, who has a lot of power.

Production of the series will begin in September this year and will last until February 2023 in London and Morocco. JJ Abrams and his company Bad Robot will take over the production functions.
