Constantine
is one of the most intriguing properties of the DC franchise due to its otherworldly take on mystical creatures and its entertaining character beats. Right now, John Constantine is aboard the Waverider in DC’s
Legends of Tomorrow,
but plans for a silver screen revival for the character are reportedly being mapped out.
Interestingly, The Direct’s exclusive report
previously revealed
that a live-action movie centered on John Constantine is currently in development at Warner Bros. with JJ Abrams (
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
) attached as a producer. Despite that, it is currently unclear if this film will explore a fresh new take of the character, or if it will once again feature Keanu Reeves’ version from the 2005 film,
Constantine
.

WHAT THIS MEANS
While fans can take this with a grain of salt (although it comes straight from one of the actors from 2005’s
Constantine
), this should serve as a very good indication that talks are happening behind-the-scenes about the franchise. More so, this tease from Stormare
aligns with our exclusive
, and this development should bode well for longtime fans of John Constantine.

Sequel In The Works
In conjunction with that, the DCEU is
expected to maximize
its multiverse potential, shifting the focus from an interconnected storyline to branching out different projects to tackle different, yet captivating storylines. With 2022’s
The Flash
diving into a multiverse-heavy narrative, it’s possible that Keanu Reeves’ Constantine could very well be in the mix before eventually going all-in for a potential sequel.
All in all, it’s clear that 2005’s
Constantine
has its own cult following, and Stormare’s tease could add more hype to the potential arrival of a much-awaited sequel.
