- ADVERTISING-

Director Francis Lawrence's words renew our hope of seeing a sequel to Constantine.

This 2020, Constantine celebrated 15 years of being released on the big screen under the direction of Francis Lawrence and the protagonist of Keanu reeves. The film was released in February 2005 with measured expectations when it comes to the box office, mainly because he is not one of the most popular characters in DC outside the circle of franchise lovers.

Overall, the film was received positively by critics and audiences. Some even have a special esteem for him, which has grown over the years. Although many did not like the ending, most agree that Reeves He did a good job as the character, who is far from being a comic book superhero.

A sequel to Constantine, in the director's mind

In a conversation for SlashFilm, Lawrence He spoke of the possibility of carrying out this project as soon as possible.

“Creo que todos queríamos hacerlo. Fue lo suficientemente exitoso. Queríamos hacer una película responsable con más contenido para adultos. Y por responsable me refiero a que hubiéramos hecho una película que no hubiera costado tanto como la original, que pensamos que sería para persons mayores de 13 años. Fue difícil adivinar dónde llevarlo ”, comentó.

In the same way, the director of other films such as The Hunger Games said he was aware that many people expect a sequel to Constantine. He commented that there is a kind of cult around this production, so the most natural thing would be to continue this cinematographic adventure with the character.

“The idea of a personal story was very interesting and difficult to handle. We have been talking about it recently. It is always present in all of us because we all adore the film and, fundamentally, because we realize that there is a real cult for it, "he added.

Obstacles in the way

Lawrence at the same time spoke of the main obstacle to moving forward with sequel to Constantine, despite the fact that there is a will on the part of all those who were involved in the first installment. As we can anticipate, it is a question of rights and the plans that would already exist around the character.

“Keanu, Akiva, and I have talked about it. Unfortunately, I don't remember who has it, but with all those shared universes that exist now, and with Constantine being part of Vertigo, which is part of DC, there are people with plans for those universes (...) We have investigated it, but I think It's crazy when you have Keanu, who would love to do another Constantine, and you have us wanting to do another Constantine, ”he added.

We are convinced that Keanu reeves He will return to the character (or we have too much faith in him). It seems to us that anyone with two fingers of a brain would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the desire to see a sequel and the second wind that the actor took in recent years.
