James Gunn Hasn't Read a Constantine 2 Script, Leaving Keanu Reeves Sequel Unapproved

Gunn confirms conversations with Reeves but signals the project advances only if a strong screenplay meets DC Studios’ standards.

Overview

  • Gunn told the BobaTalks podcast he has discussed the sequel with Reeves but has not seen a script.
  • Reeves said he and director Francis Lawrence recently pitched a treatment to DC Studios and are working on drafts.
  • Reports indicate an early draft was completed in 2024 with revisions continuing this year.
  • Peter Stormare described creative back-and-forth over tone, saying Reeves is unhappy with scripts that skew toward spectacle.
  • Coverage positions the film as a likely DC Elseworlds project with Lawrence returning to direct and Akiva Goldsman attached, though no greenlight, dates, or casting beyond Reeves are set.
