Constantine 2: Keanu Reeves Pushes for a Grittier Sequel

It has been two decades since the release of the original Constantine movie, and Keanu Reeves has been pushing for a sequel. Recently, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirmed that he has had discussions with Reeves about Constantine 2. While there is interest in the project, Gunn emphasized that a script that meets his standards is essential before moving forward.

Reeves has also mentioned that progress is being made on the script for Constantine 2. With a new draft in hand, the team is hopeful that the studio will approve the project. The original Constantine movie, released in 2005, was a commercial success, grossing $230.9 million on a moderate budget.

Director Francis Lawrence, who helmed the first film, is set to return for the sequel. Lawrence has expressed a desire to create an R-rated Constantine movie this time around, aiming to deliver a darker and more intense experience for viewers. The potential for an R-rated sequel has generated excitement among fans who have longed for a grittier adaptation of the character.

The prospect of Reeves reprising his role as John Constantine in a matured and more intense storyline is intriguing. However, the decision to greenlight Constantine 2 ultimately rests with DC Studios. Will they take the plunge and bring this long-awaited sequel to fruition? Only time will tell.
