Keanu Reeves confirms he's spoken with DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn about Constantine 2. A new DC Universe is on the rise. Under James Gunn and Peter Safran's leadership, a new interconnected universe will take shape and create a more cohesive franchise. However, prior to the big announcement in January, Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed that an old DC franchise is getting revived. Back in September 2022, Constantine 2 was officially put into development, with Reeves reprising the role of the DC Hellblazer. Constantine director Francis Lawrence will direct the sequel, but little news has emerged since the initial announcement.
While the initial DC movies and TV shows have been revealed for Chapter 1, "Gods and Monsters," DC Studios is also looking at Elsewords properties too. But Constantine 2 was not one of the projects mentioned during the January announcement, leaving many to wonder what's going on. Reeves recently participated in an AMA session on Reddit where one fan asked if he had spoken with Gunn about Constantine 2 while also hoping it will still happen. The actor confirmed that he has indeed had discussions with Gunn about Constantine 2 while also remaining hopeful it will happen.
