Update on the Long-Awaited Constantine 2 Sequel

James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, recently provided an update on the long-anticipated sequel to the 2005 film *Constantine*, which starred Keanu Reeves as the titular character. During an interview on the BobaTalks podcast, Gunn confirmed that he has engaged in discussions about the project with Reeves but has yet to read any script. “I’ve discussed it on and off. I’ve discussed it with Keanu,” Gunn stated, emphasizing his respect for the creative team involved. Despite the ongoing conversations, he noted, “I have not read any script yet.”

The journey to *Constantine 2* has been protracted, with Reeves and director Francis Lawrence expressing their desire to create a sequel for over a decade. Earlier this year, Reeves revealed that he and Lawrence had pitched a treatment for the sequel to DC Studios, which received a positive response. “We’ve been trying to make this film for over a decade, and we just recently put a story together and pitched it to DC Studios and they said, ‘OK,’” Reeves explained. This indicates that while there is enthusiasm and a framework for the sequel, formal script development is still in its early stages.

Francis Lawrence is set to return as director, with Akiva Goldsman attached to write the screenplay and produce the film. Lawrence has hinted at a “great idea” for the sequel, suggesting that the narrative will delve into darker themes while remaining true to the character's origins in the *Hellblazer* comics. He mentioned that the creative team has been reflecting on the character for 20 years, allowing them to draw from a wealth of ideas and stories.

*Constantine 2* is expected to be developed as an Elseworlds project, which allows it to exist outside the main DC Universe continuity. This approach provides the filmmakers the freedom to explore darker storylines without the constraints of the broader franchise. Gunn's comments suggest that while the project is still in development limbo, there is a commitment to maintaining the tone and spirit of the original film.

Despite the optimism surrounding the project, some skepticism remains regarding its actualization. Critics point out that without a finalized script, the likelihood of the film progressing remains uncertain. Gunn has previously indicated that he will not greenlight any project without a script he approves of, which raises questions about the timeline for *Constantine 2*.
