The team behind Constantine He had plans for a sequel that never happened. That was a topic of conversation during the Constantine 15th anniversary panel during Comic-Con @ Home. The panel featured star Keanu Reeves, director Francis Lawrence and producer Akiva Goldsman. Goldsman sounded like he was still ready for another shot at Constantine 2. “Boy, we wanted to do a sequel,” he said during the panel. “We wanted to do a tough sequel to R. We’ll probably make it tomorrow … For the studios that did, Warner Bros and Village Roadshow, he was always a bit of a feathered fish; his rarity, equally comfortable in a character scene between Keanu and Rachel as she is with demons flying, throwing herself at a man who lights up his fist and expels them. It’s weird, right? It’s not action packed, it just has a lot of action. This movie isn’t exactly one thing, it’s actually some things, and those seem increasingly difficult to do.
“We’ve talked about it and we’ve had ideas, and I’d love that, and if you woke up in a cell, do you have to identify the prisoner? It was [screenwriter Frank Cabello’s] idea that [the prisoner] it was Jesus He comes and is in New York. Yes, we have talked about a sequel “
“We talked about sequels more than the study … It was not an absolute or critically acclaimed success at the time,” said Lawrence. There was also a touchy subject. “Religion is a polarizing element in the narrative,” said Lawrence. I remember being in a question and answer session after a screening, and someone, I don’t remember what religion he was from, was so confused by heaven and hell and trying to get me to explain. Because, in his world view, there was no heaven and hell. So how was I supposed to enter this world properly, right? And that was one of the great conclusions. The theme of the story was simply to discourage people. “
In addition to Reeves, Constantine also stars Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, and Peter Stormare. The film earned $ 230.9 million when it debuted after receiving mostly negative reviews from critics.
There have recently been rumors that Reeves could return in a new Constantine project related to JJ Abrams Dark justice league. “I always wanted to play John Constantine again,” Reeves said in an interview last year. “I also love that world, and I love that character. I had a lot of fun playing a character and [playing] in that world. “
