“Constantine 2” is set to continue the dark and gritty journey of John Constantine, with Keanu Reeves reprising his iconic role. Despite facing production delays over the years, the film is finally moving forward with Francis Lawrence returning as director. The movie will remain separate from the mainline DC Universe, existing under DC’s Elseworlds banner.

Plot details are largely under wraps, but hints suggest a focus on Constantine’s ongoing battle against supernatural entities, potentially featuring new celestial and demonic characters. The sequel is expected to stay true to the original’s blend of horror, action, and dark humor, while pushing for a more mature, R-rated tone.

Keanu Reeves has expressed excitement about stepping back into Constantine’s shoes, and Peter Stormare is rumored to return as Lucifer. With Warner Bros backing the project and Akiva Goldsman leading the script, “Constantine 2” is shaping up to be a thrilling return to the franchise. The release is tentatively expected in late 2024 or early 2025.
