Keanu Reeves has given fans the most exciting update yet on the long-awaited sequel to the 2005 cult classic, Constantine. Reeves, who portrayed the occult detective and exorcist John Constantine in the original film, recently shared that Constantine 2 is now ready for a script after a successful pitch to DC Studios.

"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 revealed in an interview with Inverse. "So, we're going to try and write a script."

This development marks a significant step forward for the project, which fans have been eagerly anticipating for nearly two decades. However, it's important to note that while the pitch was well-received, Constantine 2 is not yet a confirmed project in the rebooted DCU. DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran have not mentioned it as part of their future plans, leaving the film's fate still hanging in the balance.

Reeves did offer a tantalizing hint about the potential direction of the sequel, stating that if Constantine 2 is made, it will be set in "the same world" as the original film. He playfully added, "John Constantine's going to be tortured even more," suggesting a continuation of the character's dark and complex journey.

Adding to the excitement, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura shared his own update on the project. In an interview with ComicBook, he revealed that the script for Constantine 2 is already in his inbox, though he admitted to being too nervous to read it yet. "You know it's in my inbox right now, funny enough," he said. "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."

As fans await further developments, the possibility of Constantine 2 moving forward offers a glimmer of hope for a sequel that has been years in the making.
