Constantine 2 gets 'renewed hope' as director Francis Lawrence says the old DC bosses were in the way
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Francis Lawrence says Constantine 2 has a fresh shot now that James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving DC Studios. He told Collider there is a script ready, that the people at DC had been 'an impediment', and that he, Keanu Reeves, Akiva Goldsman and J.J. Abrams all still want to make it. Nothing is greenlit yet: whoever runs DC next, plus Warner and Paramount, still has to say yes.
Twenty years on, do you want Keanu back as John Constantine?
