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

Keanu Reeves offers the most encouraging update yet on Constantine 2, confirming a script is now in the works.

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 following Reeves' confirmation of a recent successful pitch to 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 revealed to Inverse. “So, we're going to try and write a script.”

While this is positive news, it's crucial to remember that DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran haven't officially greenlit the project. Constantine 2 isn't yet confirmed for the rebooted DCU, and hasn't been publicly acknowledged by Gunn or Safran. Uncertainty remains.

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

Reeves' comments follow producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's September statement that a Constantine 2 script existed, though he admitted his apprehension about reading it.

Speaking to ComicBook, di Bonaventura stated the script was in his inbox, expressing his desire for its quality: "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."
