Constantine 2 becomes reality after long controversy: what we know so far about the long-awaited sequel

Constantine 2 will take shape with Warner Bros. help, and Keanu Reeves will reportedly be reprising his role as John Constantine.

It’s suspected to be a sequel to the 2005 film, with Francis Lawrence and Akiva Goldsman returning as director and writer respectively.

Constantine (2005) was originally supposed to star Nicolas Cage in the title role. Tarsem Singh eventually left the film due to creative differences, which also caused Nicolas Cage to leave and Keanu Reeves to fill the actor’s vacated spot.

At the time, Constantine (2005) earned only $230.9 million in theaters worldwide, that’s against a production budget of $100 million, which is why there was no sequel.

Many fans wished Reeves would reprise his role in a possible Constantine 2

John Constantine is one of DC’s most important characters when it comes to the mystical side of the universe, and he was to be the mainstay of J.J.’s Dark League universe. Abrams.

Abrams was reportedly developing a Constantine series under the DC umbrella for HBO Max but, while no official casting has been announced, it seems that Sope Dirisu was supposed to play Constantine. It was previously reported that one of the reasons Legends of Tomorrow couldn’t use Constantine, who in the Arrowverse was played by Matt Ryan, was because Warner Bros. had plans for the character.

However, following recent news, it appears that the Constantine character is returning to Keanu Reeves, as fans of the actor but also the DC franchise have been hoping all along.

It remains to be seen, however, what will happen with Constantine 2 and whether Peter Stormare will return, in turn, as the scariest devil to ever grace the small and big screens.
