In an interview with Collider, Lawrence has provided a status update on Constantine 2, which had previously been delayed by the Hollywood Strikes and negotiations over usage rights.

“I will say we are closer than ever to being able to do a sequel, which is a great thing,” Lawrence said. “And Akiva, Keanu and I are super, super excited about it.”

“We have a great idea,” he said. “We have gone through a bunch of the comics over the years and looked at things. I will say that there’s probably grains from things that we’re pulling, but in truth, most of it is just coming from the three of us, you know, loving the character, loving the world, having it sort of in 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.”

Ok I love the shit out of Constantine 1. I've watched it so many times. Waiting eagerly for this one!

I notice a lot of the comic fans don't like this film because he's not blonde and from Liverpool. I never read the comics so this is my introduction to the character. I love the film. 😁

Yeah, I read the comics and it isn't really that he wasn't blonde and the Liverpool thing is more background, he probably has a more London a influenced accent, it was just the whole shooting match. And I am a Keanu fan, but... No.

If Keanu wants to make a Constantine film, I'm excited to see it.

Let a franchise say dead. Let it end. Life is not endless. Stories need to conclude.

Fucking greedy corporate shitheads.
