Serving as a sequel to the 2005 film, the film is written by Akiva Goldsman and is based on DC Comics' Hellblazer comic book. The film stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a cynical exorcist with the ability to perceive and communicate with half-angels and half-demons in their true forms and to travel between Earth and Hell.

Development[edit]

In 2011, director Francis Lawrence stated, regarding a sequel:

It's interesting that over the years, Constantine seems like it's become ... like it has this sort of cult following, which has been great. It's been embraced. It would be great to figure out a sequel, and if we did, and we've been trying to figure one out, it would be great to do the really dark, scary version. We got caught in that weird PG-13–R no man's land, and we should do the hard-R scary version, which I would love to do.[1]

It was announced in November 2012 that Guillermo del Toro had signed a deal to write and direct a Justice League Dark film centered around DC Comics' supernatural characters, John Constantine among them.[2]

Reeves stated in May 2019 that he is open to reprising the role in the future.[3] He again expressed interest in a sequel in December 2021, saying: "I would love to be John Constantine again."[4]

In November 2020, Stormare announced in a post on Instagram that a sequel was "in the works", though neither representatives for Warner Brothers nor Reeves immediately responded to requests for comment.[5]

In September 2022, Deadline reported that Warner Bros. will develop a Constantine sequel, with Keanu Reeves set to return in the lead role. Francis Lawrence will return as the film's director, with Akiva Goldsman writing the screenplay. Goldsman will also produce, alongside J.J. Abrams & Hannah Minghella.[6]
