Keanu Reeves' 'Constantine' Sequel Inches Closer to Reality

As of October 2025, the long-awaited sequel to the 2005 film 'Constantine' starring Keanu Reeves is moving closer to becoming a reality. DC Studios co-head James Gunn has revealed that he has discussed the project with Reeves, though he has not yet read any script for the potential follow-up.

Earlier this year, Reeves had stated that he and director Francis Lawrence had been trying to make a 'Constantine' sequel for over a decade. They recently put together a story pitch and presented it to DC Studios, who gave the green light to proceed. However, the project has faced some setbacks due to the writer's strike, as Lawrence explained last year.

Despite the hurdles, the team behind the original film remains determined to bring the 'Constantine' sequel to life. Lawrence has said they have a "great idea" for the sequel, drawing from the Hellblazer comics that the original film was loosely based on. The director noted that they have been percolating on ideas and characters from the source material for the past 20 years.

Fans of the original 'Constantine' film, which saw Reeves portray the chain-smoking cynic with the ability to perceive the true nature of half-angels and half-demons, have long been eager for a sequel. With the project now moving forward, albeit with some setbacks, the prospect of seeing Reeves reprise his iconic role is closer than ever.
