According to Constantine star Keanu Reeves, a new draft of the script for Constantine 2 has been turned in, and he’s about to pitch it.
Speaking with Fandango in support of his new movie Good Fortune, Reeves was asked about the status of Constantine 2, and said, “Yeah, fingers crossed. You know, another draft of the script came in. We’re waiting. We’re going to take it to the studio. Hopefully they like it, too.”
Announced in 2022, there have been some fears over whether or not the long-awaited Constantine 2 would still happen. Not long after it was announced, a new DC Universe slate was announced, and there was no mention of the film. It was then clarified shortly after that the film was still in the works, but then another round of silence happened. This was followed by one more scare when it was stated the sequel was being ‘re-evaluated.’
Things appear to be getting back on track, and the last update came from Lawrence, who said, “I will say we are closer than ever to being able to do a sequel, which is a great thing. And Akiva, Keanu and I are super, super excited about it.”
While not confirmed as of yet, this will more than likely fall into the Elseworlds branding along with The Batman: Part II and Joker: Folie à Deux.
Akiva Goldsman has been tapped to pen the screenplay and produce through his Weed Road Pictures. Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella are also set as producers. Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Erwin Stoff are set as executive producers. Francis Lawrence will return to direct.
Warner Bros Pictures Group co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy are said to have spearheaded the deal.
