Yes, this is produced by JJ Abrams. Strange that his Constantine/Justice League Dark project ends up becoming this.

As the forum's residient huge fan of John Constantine I hate this. The first movie was a terrible adaption of the source material. Keanu Reeves was a terrible choice for John too. If this happens and JJ's rumored Black Constantine that will suck hard.

Why not give Matt Ryan his own R rated streaming service the guy is the perfect Constantine

I think it comes down to, Keanu has been vocal about wanting to revisit the character. He's a huge star so he gets his way. That's pretty much the long and short of it.

Knowing him he will show up with his long John Wick Hair and Beard since he did the same thing with Neo in Matrix 4

I really liked the first Constantine - was very surprised by it. And I know that there are actually Constantine fans out there who want something more akin to the guy from the CW stuff - and I understand that completely - I'm a purist in most things. But I'm looking forward to this sequel to be honest.

But then you posted this about his appearance and I could see it being absolutely 100% true. It's like he has turned into one of those actors who just shows up as-is instead of weaving a character anymore.

In all fairness in the last Hellblazer Run of comics they did make Keanu's Constantine Canon using the other earth's excuse. He isn't the main Constantine but Keanu is some earth's Constantine

But ya don't be surprised if he half asses his appearance when it happens

CW’s Constantine was so much better (the best show on the cw)

For those looking forward to the sequel to 2005's Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves, Warner Bros. (WB) might have some bad news.

WB shocked fans around the world when it announced in September 2022 that Reeves' DC Comics movie would be getting a sequel after nearly 20 years. Since then, there's been no further word on the project.

However, the future of the DCU is bright. It includes a new Superman film from James Gunn, a fresh take on Batman and Robin in The Brave and the Bold, a Booster Gold series, and more.

Yet, it seems that Constantine may not be a part of DC Studios' new slate of projects.

Thanks to industry insider KC Walsh, fans learned that the recently announced film, Constantine 2, might have been canceled.

In response to a now-deleted tweet, Walsh bluntly stated that "Constantine 2 is not happening.”

So, if that’s true, then why would WB have ordered it in the first place? Well, according to the insider, it was a “desperate” move:

“That was a movie they greenlit in desperation because they weren’t sure the direction of DC her and needed to have something post-2023.”

This move would come right on the heels of three other projects meeting their demises. Most recently, this included Doom Patrol, Titans, and Pennyworth.

Before that, there was the incident involving Batgirl and its controversial cancelation.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-07-2023, 11:55 AM

Yeah, I mean, this was announced right about the same time as the Cavill Superman movie. And Gunn was pretty adamant about he hasn't approved anything yet, and we saw how that turned out.

*Autbot_Benz* · 02-07-2023, 12:48 PM

If it's true than wonderful. Give us the comic accurate Constantine and put him in Swamp Thing or another movie down the line.

Warners says its still happening

A spokesperson for Warner Bros. confirmed to EW that Constantine 2 is not scrapped. Internet chatter going around social media suggested it had been.
