Reeves, who played John Constantine in the 2005 original, said in a new interview that after over a decade’s worth of attempts to get the sequel made, the film was finally ready for a script.
Based on Hellblazer comics and directed by Francis Lawrence, Constantine starred Reeves as suicide survivor and demon hunter John Constantine, entangled in a supernatural plot between angelic and demonic forces.
While details about the sequel were scant, Reeves admitted one thing: “tortured” John Constantine’s troubles were only starting.
“We finally have been sort of given the permission to go ahead and do our version of Constantine because people are always saving him to be part of some shared universe thing or some TV thing or whatever,” he said at the time.
Cult favourite Constantine might finally get the long-awaited sequel as star Keanu Reeves provided an optimistic update.
