In an exclusive chat that sent waves through the realms of hell and back, Lorenzo di Bonaventura — the mastermind producer behind such titanic titles as Transformers and The Meg — has broken the silence on the long-anticipated sequel to Keanu Reeves’ Constantine (Constantine 2). Speaking with ComicBook.com, di Bonaventura shared insights that could only be described as heavenly news to the ears of fans who have been performing their own dark arts to conjure up Constantine 2 from the depths of development hell.
Since Keanu Reeves first donned the trench coat of the damned and sassy John Constantine, fans have been clamouring for a sequel with the fervour of a demonic horde. The original Constantine movie, a blend of dark fantasy, neo-noir, and dry wit, has carved its unique niche, leaving audiences yearning for more of its bleak yet strangely comedic universe.

A Rocky Road for Warner Bros. and DC
Warner Bros. and DC’s cinematic universe has seen its fair share of celestial highs and infernal lows. Amidst the chaos, Constantine 2 seemed like a whispered prayer lost in a tempest. However, with the winds of change, Keanu Reeves himself, alongside executives James Gunn and Peter Safran, hinted at the sequel’s lurking presence in the shadows, biding its time, much like Constantine himself.
The Return of John Constantine
Gunn’s plans for DC’s sprawling universe are as mysterious as the occult itself. Still, the whispers of Constantine 2 persist, suggesting that John may yet walk among us, cigarette in hand, ready to flip off the next demon that looks at him sideways. But specifics? As elusive as the man himself.

Building the Universe
Speculation is rife that Gunn wishes to lay a solid foundation for his universe before delving into the “Elseworlds” — a realm where Constantine undoubtedly reigns supreme. Perhaps, in this careful orchestration, there lies a plan, a grand design unseen by mere mortals (and fans).
Fan Expectations and Speculations
From the return of Rachel Weisz’s enigmatic Angela Dodson to diving deeper into the lore of the Spear of Destiny, fan theories are as boundless as the hells Constantine has traversed. Each rumour adds a layer to the pentacle of anticipation surrounding the sequel.

Di Bonaventura’s passion for Constantine is palpable, likening the character’s allure to that of Madame Web — unique, singular, a beacon in the dark. His hope for the sequel to forge ahead mirrors the resolve of Constantine himself, ever defiant in the face of adversity.
The Original and the Sequel – A Comparative Analysis
Constantine stood apart for its gritty realism, dark humour, and Keanu Reeves’ portrayal of a man perpetually on the brink. The sequel, then, must dance on this knife-edge, balancing the bleak with the absurd, the divine with the damned.

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the return of Keanu Reeves as the world-weary warlock is a prospect too tantalising to ignore.
