James Gunn's departure revives hope for a Constantine 2
After DC's leader leaves, director Francis Lawrence finally sees the door open for the long-awaited sequel.
James Gunn's departure from DC Studios rekindles hope for the production of Constantine 2 with Keanu Reeves. Francis Lawrence, who previously directed Constantine in 2005, notes that the project was announced in 2022 with the same actor and director, but it never really moved forward. In a recent interview with Collider, the director says that he, Reeves and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman are still ready to bring the film to life, and that the former DC heads "were blocking our way". According to AlloCine, he now feels more optimistic about the chance of a new opportunity.
