'CONSTANTINE 2' Officially Happening Says Warner Bros.

A few weeks back it was announced that ‘Constantine 2’ was confirmed to be happening with Keanu Reeves returning as John Constantine for Warner Bros. Yet recently, since James Gunn has taken over the DC Universe, rumors have been swirling that the film was scrapped since it wasn’t mentioned directly by Gunn in his speech about the future of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The good news is, yes, the film is still indeed happening!

“A spokesperson for Warner Bros. confirmed to EW that Constantine 2 is not scrapped,” Entertainment Weekly just reported today, squashing rumors to the contrary.

We don’t have any confirmation though about whether the film will tie into James Gunn’s “Gods And Monsters” DC timeline or be a stand alone flick.

Francis Lawrence is returning to direct the brand new Constantine adventure.

“Reeves will reprise as supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine who in the original is dying but stays around to save his soul by keeping demons from hell from breaching earth. He also gets between a battle between the archangel Gabriel and Lucifer.”

Akiva Goldsman will write the screenplay and produce the project through his Weed Road Pictures, alongside Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella.

We’re sure glad that those rumors were just that. We’ll bring ya more about Constantine 2 as it develops.
