Keanu Reeves Gives Long-Awaited Update on Sequel 20 Years in the Making
- While discussing the upcoming movie release, Good Fortune, Keanu Reeves was asked about the likelihood of a Constantine sequel.
- Reeves sounded optimistic while updating on the current status, revealing that the script for Constantine 2 is being sent to the studio.
- Reeves was joined by Aziz Ansari for the interview, and the duo spoke about Good Fortune, which has garnered strong reviews ahead of its release.
As Hollywood continues its recent run of bringing back popular movies and television shows for sequels, prequels and spin-offs, there may be another new addition to the list coming soon. For most, the new additions to various film franchises (The Naked Gun, for example) and reboots of television shows (Big Bang Theory’s upcoming spin-off) have been a welcome sight. This is likely to hold true for the many Keanu Reeves fans around the globe, as the actor discussed the possibility of a Constantine sequel while promoting his new movie, Good Fortune.
The topic of a sequel to Constantine has been one that has come up sporadically over the years, although it began to seem less and less likely, considering the first film was released in 2005. According to Reeves, though, it sounds as though there’s a real shot for Constantine 2 to be on the horizon.
Keanu Reeves Gives Significant Update on Likelihood of ‘Constantine 2’
Reeves and Good Fortune director/writer/co-star Aziz Ansari sat down to chat with Fandango, and when the topic of “angel movies” came up (obviously), host Jacqueline Coley asked about the possibility of Constantine 2 happening. To the excitement of the film’s many fans, Reeves essentially said the ball is now in the studio’s court.
"Fingers crossed, another draft of the script came in,” Reeves said. “We’re going to take it to the studio, hopefully they like it too.”
It’s an exciting update from Reeves, and for those who haven’t seen the movie, Constantine comes with an interesting storyline.
John Constantine, played by Reeves, is a demon hunter and knows that when he dies, he’s bound to meet Satan, unless he manages to flip the script and earn some goodwill. Constantine then goes on to help police officer Angela Dodson (played by Rachel Weisz) to investigate her identical twin’s apparent suicide. The movie is based on the DC/Vertigo comics, Hellblazer.
While it’s unknown exactly how likely it is that Constantine 2 is happening, there was some optimism from Reeves, so fans of the original movie can keep their fingers crossed as well.

The upcoming film Good Fortune, starring Reeves and the two comedy favorites, Ansari and Seth Rogen, is set to hit theaters on Oct. 17. It features Reeves as Gabriel, the guardian angel of a gig-worker named Arj, played by Ansari, who’s down on his luck.

While it’s becoming more and more rare to see comedies land in theaters, Ansari and company are doing their part in making the push to bring the genre back into the mix. For good measure, the new film has garnered strong feedback out of the gate, with Rotten Tomatoes giving it an 83 percent rating based on the first 24 critics’ reviews.
Among the noteworthy reviews on Rotten Tomatoes was one from Brian Tallerico of Roger Ebert, who posted:
"There's so much to like about the four stars of this movie that it’s a really tough flick to hate.” Tallerico wrote.
It’s high praise for the trio mentioned above, along with Keke Palmer, who plays Elena, and has already received strong reviews for her performance as well.
