'Constantine 2' Director Francis Lawrence Reveals How Keanu Reeves Sequel Is Finally Happening [Exclusive]

Constantine2 director Francis Lawrence shared with us how a late-night appearance helped get Keanu Reeves back into the role.

A few months ago, after years of Keanu Reeves saying that he would love to reprise the role of John Constantine, it was confirmed that a Constantine sequel is finally in the works with the film's original director Francis Lawrence and scribe Akiva Goldsman also returning.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY One of the reasons it took seventeen years to get the sequel off the ground, was the fact that they had to navigate pre-existing plans for the character and work with the various properties involved in his existence, as the director explained: While Reeves is set to return for the sequel, it's not yet clear if any of the original cast will also return. Constantine starred Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, and Gavin Rossdale. While some of these characters might prove challenging to bring back, the magical world of Constantine definitely leaves plenty of room to explore.The first Constantine movie premiered back in 2005 and became a cult hit with audiences and fans of the comics.
