Constantine 2 details

Keanu Reeves, Francis Lawrence, and Josh Horowitz shared their enthusiasm for the potential continuation of the movie “Constantine” in a recent conversation.

According to Lawrence, Akiva (Goldsman) is developing the script, and Keanu, Akiva, and I have been brainstorming together. We’re incredibly enthusiastic about some fantastic ideas that we believe are truly promising. He also mentioned that we’re nearly there in terms of creating something very functional.

As a movie enthusiast, let me share my sentiments: “I must confess, the anticipation is palpable! It’s been over two decades since we embarked on this cinematic journey with the first installment, and I haven’t felt this level of excitement about the project and its potential authenticity. This one truly seems to have a chance at greatness.

Reeves added, “I’m aching to play this guy.”

What is Constantine 2 about?

Director Francis Lawrence hinted at the possibility of reappearing characters from the initial film, which hit screens back in 2005. He also suggested that the upcoming project will delve deeply into John Constantine’s personal narrative.

He expressed, “What has always mattered significantly to me and was one of the aspects I admired in the initial movie, was that John Constantine’s motivation was intensely personal.” He added, “It isn’t a typical ‘save-the-world’ scenario. We aimed to create a narrative that was profoundly personal because John Constantine inherently is quite self-centered – a trait I appreciate about him. This aspect was crucial. However, I don’t want to reveal too much.

Lawrence remarked, “Re-exploring this character is truly enjoyable, and it’s an exciting prospect to delve once more into this captivating universe. While much may seem familiar, there will also be lots that’s fresh, distinct, and unexpected. It certainly feels like a fitting continuation.
