After the massive success of Constantine (2005), a sequel for this film was very unlikely. However, after so much time, it was confirmed earlier this year that Constantine 2 is officially in the works. But few details regarding the project have been provided to us. Recently, Comicbook had a chat with Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the producer of Constantine 2 and he gave us some news without revealing anything about the upcoming film.
In his conversation with Comic Strip was asked about the status of the film’s creation. He replied that he had the script in hand but was too afraid to start reading it. In his statement, he said:
“You know it’s in my inbox right now. It’s kind of funny, but I’m too scared to read it,” he said. “I want it to be good so bad. I’ll probably read it in the next few days. When I get on a plane.”
That being said, it’s safe to assume that Constantine 2 is progressing steadily and filming will likely begin fairly soon.
When can Constantine 2 be released?
As of now, we don’t have a specific release date for Constantine 2. However, with the film’s script having been finalized by Akiva Goldsman, we can assume that filming could begin around mid-2025. That being said, we can assume that Constantine 2 could see its release scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027.
Is Constantine 2 going to be part of the DCU?
Another question people have is whether Constantine will be a part of James Gunn’s DCU if he returns after so long. Comicbook asked Lorenzo di Bonaventura the same question, to which he responded:
“I don’t know. I’m not as involved in this as others. So I don’t know exactly where we are at the moment.”
So we can’t say for sure if this will blend into the DCU or not, but we can say that we’ve been waiting a long time to see Keanu Reeves as Constantine again. Constantine 2 could be similar to DC Elseworlds projects like Joker: Madness for Two which involves involvement in the continuity of the DC universe.
Constantine was released in 2005 and received a very positive response from the audience for its visual effects and overall execution of the story. Keanu Reeves marveled in the role and was looking to do another film which is now becoming a reality after so long. That being said, let’s wait and see what Constantine 2 has in store for us. Until then, stay tuned for more updates!
