In September 2022 we learned Warner Bros. was moving forward with a Constantine sequel that would see Keanu Reeves reprise his 2005 role as the working-class warlock. The original film’s director Frank Lawrence was coming back, too. Despite rumors to the contrary, those plans didn’t change when the studio hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to head ups its new DCU franchise. Reeves himself confirmed at the time he had already talked about the film with the new CEOs. Yet, more than two years later and there’s still no guarantee Constantine 2 will ever happen. But that doesn’t mean Gunn isn’t still considering it. He said he’s discussed the possibility with Reeves. He just hasn’t seen a script, yet.
During an appearance on the BobaTalks podcast (which we first learned about at Deadline), Gunn offered an update on a possible Constantine 2. I’ve discussed it on and off,” said Gunn. “I’ve discussed it with Keanu. But I have not read any script yet.”
It’s hard to believe there’s still not a screenplay. Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the first film and is still attached as a producer on the sequel, was set to pen a script back in 2022. Earlier this year Reeves also said he pitched a treatment to Gunn and that after getting the “ok” they were going to actually write it. Lawrence himself claimed they were “closer than ever to being able to do a sequel” recently. But despite his conversations with Reeves and all the excitement around an idea, without a script it seems unlikely Gunn will ever okay Constantine 2.
A Constantine sequel starring Reeves’ would seemingly take place under DC Elseworlds banner rather than in the DCU proper. (Though, after Peacemaker season two, that’s no guarantee, either.) But one thing Gunn apparently won’t do sign off on a movie without a script he approves of. He and Safran previously told us their approach is to only put finished scripts they feel good about into production.
He doesn’t have one of those for Constantine 2, yet. Until he does the sequel will remain nothing more than an idea some people talk about.
