Keanu Reeves Pitches Constantine 2 to DC, Script Ready

Keanu Reeves has shared the most encouraging update yet regarding Constantine 2, revealing that the project is now officially moving toward script development.

John Constantine, the enigmatic occult detective and exorcist from DC Comics, first came to life on the big screen in the 2005 film starring Reeves. Based on his popularity and the success of The Matrix, Reeves brought a unique intensity to the role, helping the film evolve into a cult favorite over time. In the years since, fans have passionately called for a sequel, with Reeves himself consistently expressing interest in revisiting the character.

Now, it appears Constantine 2 has taken a meaningful step forward. During a recent interview with Inverse, Reeves revealed that he and his team recently pitched a story to DC Studios—and received an enthusiastic response.

“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 explained. “So, we're going to try and write a script.”

That news alone is promising, though it's important to note that no formal green light has been given by DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran. As of now, Constantine 2 remains unconfirmed within the new DC Universe framework and hasn't been referenced publicly by either executive as part of their plans. So while progress is being made, the sequel still feels uncertain.

Still, Reeves did hint that if the film does move forward, it will exist within the same universe as the original movie. “We're not going off that,” he clarified, adding lightheartedly: “John Constantine's going to be tortured even more.”

His comments align with earlier remarks from producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who noted in September that a Constantine 2 script already existed—but admitted he hadn’t read it yet due to high expectations.

"You know it's in my inbox right now, funny enough,” di Bonaventura told ComicBook. “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."
