Keanu Reeves’ Constantine 2 First Plot Details Unveiled

The new film expands on the themes, revealed the film's writer Akiva Goldsman

Finally first plot details of Keanu Reeves’ long-awaited sequel of Constantine (2005), have been unveiled. Film’s writer Akiva Goldsman revealed some new details about the sequel during his recent conversation with Deadline.

Reeves will reprise his role of supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine, who is dying but stays around to save his soul by keeping demons from hell from breaching earth. He also gets between a battle between the archangel Gabriel and Lucifer.

“The new film expands on the themes the original brought, about maintaining the barrier between earth and the evil creatures that are on the other side”, revealed Goldsman, who is also one of the writers of the film. “The character is very much Keanu and the way he and Francis saw the world of good and evil, and the wonderful and authentic noir where there is a world behind the world of good and evil coexist with our world right up close. Beyond that, we are still discovering it as I am writing the script”, he added.

Constantine 2 falls under DC Studios’ Elseworlds label which also includes Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II and Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux. The sequel will be helmed by Francis Lawrence who also directed the first film.
