Keanu Reeves’ ‘Constantine’ hits theaters with modest success in 2005
Based on the title of DC Comics Hellblazer, Constantine stars Reeves as the mystical antihero John Constantine. The character’s adventures often deal with heaven and hell, as well as other supernatural concepts such as witchcraft and various dark arts. So, a few years after Marvel’s success with Blade, the movie probably looked like a huge success.
Poor me, Constantine It did not start a franchise as some of those involved in the project had expected. The Movie – From First Director Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: On Fire) – earned just $ 75 million nationwide. Production of $ 100 million made a profit internationally, reaching $ 230 million worldwide. But since then it has developed a bit of a cult following.

Reeves could return to paper for a sequel
In fact, Reeves himself acknowledges that he doesn’t look like the John Constantine comic, which is historically a British blonde man. But the actor reveals that he was drawn to the “humanitarian cynic” in Constantine. “Tired, tired of the world … but still part of it,” he said. “And I loved his sense of humor.”

Rumors have certainly emerged about Reeves’s presence at the DCEU. And the actor, Lawrence and Goldsman seem interested in looking for a sequel, even now. So maybe the fans of Constantine You might see Reeves return for a sequel to another of his beloved movies in the near future.
