DC taps Evil Dead Wrath's Francis Galluppi to write a new Constantine film
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Deadline reports DC Studios has hired Francis Galluppi — the filmmaker behind Warner Bros' upcoming Evil Dead Wrath (7 April 2028) — to pen a new John Constantine movie, with the project still in very early development and no other attachments named. Empire matches the write-only brief; TheWrap confirms the film is in the works but says Galluppi will helm, which Deadline and Empire do not. The hire lands while Clayface is past $90 million worldwide, per Deadline, with DC declining to comment and any Keanu Reeves sequel left in limbo.
Fresh Hellblazer under Clayface's shadow — or just another script gathering dust next to the Reeves sequel?
