Filmmaker James Gunn has revealed discussions with Keanu Reeves about a potential sequel to the 2005 supernatural superhero film ‘Constantine.’ Directed by Francis Lawrence and loosely based on the Hellblazer comic book series, the original film starred Reeves as John Constantine, a cynical exorcist. In a recent interview on the BobaTalks podcast, Gunn confirmed that while he has not yet read a script, he has engaged in ongoing conversations with Reeves about the project. Reeves, who has long expressed interest in reprising his role, shared that the team has been working on the sequel for over a decade. After pitching a story to DC Studios, they received approval to move forward with scripting. Director Lawrence also hinted at a ‘great idea’ for the sequel, developed over years of revisiting the comics and brainstorming. However, the project faced delays due to the 2023 writer’s strike and challenges in regaining control of the character. Despite these hurdles, the team remains committed to bringing the sequel to life.
