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

Keanu Reeves has delivered the most encouraging Constantine 2 update yet, confirming the project is ready for a script. John Constantine, the occult detective and exorcist from DC Comics, was memorably portrayed by Reeves in the 2005 film adaptation, a cult classic born from his Matrix success. 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, following Reeves' confirmation of a recent 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 revealed to Inverse. “So, we're going to try and write a script.”

While promising, 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 feels precarious.

However, Reeves hinted that, if produced, Constantine 2 will remain within 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' 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 revealed the script was in his inbox, confessing, "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."
