Keanu Reeves Talks About Constantine 2
Released in 2005, Constantine stood out among comic book adaptations for its unique atmosphere. Its dark, gothic atmosphere and Keanu Reeves’s interpretation of John Constantine have kept the film in the minds of fans even after all these years. Concrete steps are finally being taken for the long-awaited sequel.
New Draft Script for Constantine 2
Keanu Reeves confirmed in his latest statement that Constantine 2 is still in development. The actor stated that a new draft of the script has been prepared and will be submitted to the studio soon. Reeves shared his excitement about the process, saying, “Fingers crossed, the new draft is in. We’ll take it to the studio, and I hope they like it.”
The film will once again be directed by Francis Lawrence, with Akiva Goldsman writing the script. However, one of the main reasons for the production taking so long was the management changes at Warner Bros. and DC Studios in recent years. Despite this, the new leadership team’s approval of the project is considered a significant development for the sequel.
According to Reeves’ statements, the new film will be based on the world set in the first film. However, this time, it will tell a story in which John Constantine will suffer significantly more. It is believed that the creative team will delve deeper into the character’s dark nature. This strengthens the prospect of a darker, more dramatic, and more intense sequel for fans of the series.
The first film, released in 2005, was based on the DC Vertigo comic book character created by Alan Moore and Steve Bissette. At the time, the cast included Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Djimon Hounsou, and Peter Stormare. It hasn’t yet been announced who will return in Constantine 2. However, the fact that Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role is already the strongest source of excitement for fans.
