\n\tJames Gunn<\/a> is addressing the Constantine<\/a> sequel that Keanu Reeves<\/a> has been wanting to do for quite some time.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new interview, the DC Studios co-head is revealing what he knows about a possible follow-up to the 2005 film starring Reeves.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve discussed it on and off. I\u2019ve discussed it with Keanu,\u201d Gunn said on the BobaTalks<\/a> podcast. \u201cBut I have not read any script yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Reeves said he \u201cpitched\u201d a treatment for the Constantine sequel, telling Inverse, \u201cWe\u2019ve [along with director Francis Lawrence] 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, \u2018OK.\u2019 So, we\u2019re going to try and write a script.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReeves made the comments after Lawrence teased a sequel<\/a> was \u201ccloser than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the same interview with Collider<\/a>, Lawrence revealed they had a \u201cgreat idea\u201d for the sequel, adding, \u201cWe have gone through a bunch of the comics over the years and looked at things.\u201d The filmmaker said that the idea they have for the sequel stems from having the character \u201cin the back of our minds for 20 years and just kind of percolating on ideas, and stories and characters we love, and ideas we love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tConstantine is loosely based on the DC Comics\/Vertigo Comics\u2019 Hellblazer. Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello wrote the script based on a story by Brodbin. Reeves gives life to John Constantine, a chain-smoking cynic with the ability to perceive the true visage of half-angels and half-demons.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2023, Lawrence revealed that the sequel had suffered some setbacks due to the writer\u2019s strike<\/a>, telling Gamespot<\/a>, \u201cAnd we had to jump through a bunch of hurdles to get control of the character again, because other people had control of the Vertigo stuff. We have control.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Gunn is addressing the Constantine sequel that Keanu Reeves has been wanting to do for quite some…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[60978,146,85,46,12959,885],"class_list":["post-90275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-constantine","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-james-gunn","tag-keanu-reeves"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
