Enthusiasts of Keanu Reeves’ film “Constantine” were delightfully taken aback when it was disclosed in 2022 that a long-awaited follow-up was in the works. The 2005 version has grown more and more beloved as years have passed, but since the initial announcement about “Constantine 2,” there’s been relatively little information regarding its development status.
Fans enthusiastically expecting “Constantine 2” might have thought it would remain trapped in development limbo forever. However, Francis Lawrence, director of the original film and set to return for the sequel, recently revealed to Collider that the sequel is now closer to becoming a reality than ever before. He explained…
We’re almost at the point where we can work on a follow-up, and that’s fantastic news! Akiva, Keanu, and I are absolutely thrilled about it.
It appears that despite minimal public chatter regarding the film, the writer, director, and lead actor have been consistently working on the project over the past couple of years. Notably, last year, we discovered there might be a screenplay for Constantine 2. However, it’s uncertain if the script has been finalized yet. Lawrence recently shared some insights about its origins, stating…
We’ve developed an exciting concept. Over time, we’ve delved into numerous comics and pondered various aspects. While some elements may be inspired by the source material, the majority of our ideas have actually grown organically from our shared affection for the character, the universe, and the 20-year journey we’ve had with them. Our thoughts on characters, stories, and concepts we admire have been simmering in the back of our minds, slowly evolving into what we now bring to the table.
In a slightly different wording: Constantine 2 appears to draw some ideas from the comics, yet it seems the creators are aiming for an original direction. This move might initially appear disappointing to fans, but it mirrors the approach taken in the first film. Initially, Keanu Reeves’ casting as John Constantine was met with skepticism, and the fact that the initial movie deviated from the source material wasn’t lost on both fans and critics.
Indeed, the film “Constantine” has earned its reputation as a cult favorite for good reason. Fans have grown to admire it for what it is, so creating another movie in a similar vein might be the most effective approach for a successful sequel, regardless of whether Keanu chooses to sport blonde hair in the follow-up film.
There are several aspects that require further clarification, such as whether or not “Constantine 2” will be included in James Gunn’s DC Universe. Additionally, the timeline for when filming for “Constantine 2” might begin, let alone its release date, remains uncertain at this point. However, it seems likely that these events will transpire, and possibly sooner than anticipated.
