Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves, will have a sequel. Here is all the information we currently have about the production, release date, cast, and plot of Constantine 2.
Here is all the information we have on Constantine 2. John Constantine, often known as Hellblazer, from the DC Comics was reinterpreted in the Keanu Reeves film. In Reeves’ interpretation, the character lost his trademark blonde hair and British accent but retained his unique take on the supernatural detective. Francis Lawrence’s first full-length film as a filmmaker, Constantine, had franchise aspirations. Nearly 20 years later, these hopes are now being realized.
A Cult Following
But Constantine wasn’t a big hit when it came out in 2005. Although the film made over $230 million worldwide, its mixed-to-negative reviews made the prospect of a sequel less likely for the time being. But over time, Constantine has grown a cult-like following. Calls for Constantine 2 have only gotten louder since Reeves’ career began to take off as a result of John Wick, which has led to many rumors that the sequel will happen in some capacity, possibly as a theatrical release or even with Reeves reprising his role as Constantine for a Justice League Dark HBO Max series.
Because of the demand for Constantine 2, Reeves and other cast members of the original movie started talking about the likelihood of a sequel, and now it has been officially revealed that a long-awaited continuation is in the works. This prompts a number of inquiries, like how far along the production timetable is, who will be in it, and when it will be released. Below is everything that is currently known about Constantine 2, the short version.
Everything We Know
Although J.J. Abrams’ proposed HBO Max series is no longer in development, he will produce Constantine 2, which has received official approval and may serve as a prelude to the DCEU’s Justice League Dark. Given their most recent efforts to introduce additional DC characters to the big screen, Warner Bros. has chosen to turn the first movie—despite its initial lack of critical success—into a series. Given that he has additional John Wick films in the works, in addition to the most recent Bill and Ted and The Matrix films, Keanu Reeves’ career has recently been flourishing.
Plotline
Although the plot of Constantine 2 is unknown, the conclusion of the first film does set up various potential storylines, such as Angela (Rachel Weisz) pursuing a career in the paranormal if Weisz were to return for the sequel.
Another possible option for Constantine 2 is for Constantine and Midnite (Djimon Hounsou, A Quiet Place 2) to pursue additional lines of inquiry.
There is a wealth of funny material from which to draw, so the options are somewhat varied.
