What is Keanu Reeves’ Constantine 2 update?

During a recent interview with Fandango, Reeves confirmed that Constantine 2 is still in the works, revealing that the creative team currently has a new draft for the screenplay.

“Fingers crossed. Another draft of the script came in. We’re gonna take it to the studio and hopefully they like it too,” Reeves said.

The untitled sequel will once again be directed by Lawrence, with producer Akiva Goldsman writing the script. In a previous interview, the filmmaker admitted that one of the reasons why the project is taking a long time to move forward is due to the “regime changes” that Warner Bros. and DC Studios have gone through this recent years.

Earlier this year, the creative team received approval from DC Studios to go ahead with writing a script for the sequel. According to Reeves, the story will take place in the “same world” as the first installment, with the titular character set to be “tortured even more.”

The 2005 movie was loosely based on the DC and Vertigo Comics occult detective character created by Alan Moore and Steve Bissette. It centered around John Constantine, a warlock and exorcist who helps people with supernatural problems. Besides Reeves, the adaptation also starred Rachel Weisz as Angela Dodson, Shia LaBeouf as Chas Kramer, Tilda Swinton as Gabriel, Djimon Hounsou as Papa Midnite, and Peter Stormare as Lucifer.
