Keanu Reeves Confirms Discussions with James Gunn for Constantine 2

Keanu Reeves has confirmed talks with James Gunn about the upcoming Constantine 2 sequel, currently in development at DC Studios.

Despite recent changes at Warner Bros. Discovery, DC Studios confirmed that a sequel to the 2005 film Constantine is still in development. The original movie, based on the DC Comics character John Constantine, starred Keanu Reeves as a supernatural detective who hunts demons and other mystical entities. It was a cult classic that gained a strong following over the years, leading to renewed interest in a potential sequel. However, the development of a shared cinematic universe by DC Studios’ bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran had left fans uncertain whether Constantine 2 would ever come to fruition.

Although few details have been released about Constantine 2, Keanu Reeves recently confirmed in a Reddit AMA that he had had talks with James Gunn about the project. Reeves expressed his hope that fans will be able to see the follow-up to the cult classic, which was first announced in late 2022. His comment was met with enthusiasm from fans who have been waiting for news about the project for years. While there is still much we do not know about the upcoming film, the fact that Keanu Reeves and James Gunn are involved is a promising sign.
