Keanu Reeves Recently Pitched DC Studios on Constantine 2 — and It’s Now Ready for a Script

Keanu Reeves has delivered exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting Constantine 2, confirming the project is progressing to the scriptwriting phase. John Constantine, the occult detective and exorcist from DC Comics, was memorably portrayed by Reeves in the 2005 film adaptation, which achieved cult classic status. For two decades, fans have clamored for a sequel, a desire Reeves has openly shared.

Now, Constantine 2 appears closer to reality than ever before. Reeves revealed a recent successful pitch meeting at DC Studios: “We've been trying to make this film for over a decade, and we just recently put a story together and pitched it to DC Studios and they said, ‘Okay,’” Reeves told Inverse. “So, we're going to try and write a script.”

While this is encouraging, it's crucial to remember that a green light from DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran isn't guaranteed. Constantine 2 remains unconfirmed within the rebooted DCU, and hasn't received official mention from Gunn or Safran. The project's future remains somewhat uncertain.

However, Reeves hinted that, if produced, Constantine 2 will remain faithful to the original film's universe. "We're not going off that," he assured, adding with a touch of humor: "John Constantine's going to be tortured even more."

Reeves' announcement follows comments from producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who stated in September that a Constantine 2 script existed, but he was hesitant to read it, expressing a desire for its quality to meet expectations. Speaking to ComicBook, di Bonaventura said, "You know it's in my inbox right now, funny enough,” he said. “I'm too scared to read it, though, I want it to be good so bad. I’ll probably read it in the next few days, when I get on an airplane."
