Mictlantecuhtli is a supporting character in the DC animated film Constantine: City of Demons. He is the Aztec God of Death, but although the Aztec Empire died out long ago, his faith persisted and Spanish settlers brought him to southern California. While new gods rose and fell, Mictlantecuhtli was stubborn and refused to die. He is voiced by Rick Wasserman.

Forced to live off the leftovers from a slaughterhouse, Mictlantecuhtli was contacted by John Constantine. The mortal sorcerer offered the starving god a feast of demon flesh to sate his hunger, if he was willing to attack an abandoned church where they would be gathered. He arrived and, true to Constantine's word, there were five demons for him to eat. Having his fill of four while mutually wounding the fifth, Mictlantecuhtli learned it was a trick by Constantine to lure the six of them together while Chas Adler poured holy water around the church to make it consecrated ground again. Dying from the holy magic, the God of Death begged for mercy and to be taken back to his lair so he could recover, only to be ignored as Constantine said he was too dangerous to be allowed to live. The holy magic reduced Mictlancuhtli to ashes.
