Warner Bros. Resurrects the Cult Classic After 20 Years with R-Rated Supernatural Thrills

The cigarette smoke clears once more as Keanu Reeves dons the iconic trench coat for Constantine 2, finally materializing in 2025 after two decades of fan demands. This R-rated sequel to the 2005 cult hit promises darker stakes, deeper mythology, and the return of DC’s most morally ambiguous occult detective.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE HELLISH SEQUEL

✔ Original Team Reunited: Director Francis Lawrence returns alongside Reeves
✔ Plot: An aging Constantine must prevent the birth of the Anti-Christ in Los Angeles
✔ New & Returning Faces:

• Rachel Weisz back as Angela Dodson

• Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen as a sinister archangel

• The Batman’s Colin Farrell in a secret role
  ✔ Comic-Accurate Upgrades:

• Constantine’s bisexuality addressed

• More brutal exorcisms

• Actual British accent this time (Reeves trained for months)

WHY THIS SEQUEL MATTERS

The original film:

• Gained massive afterlife as a streaming phenomenon

• Influenced Supernatural, Lucifer and other occult shows

• Showcased groundbreaking practical effects for hellscapes

• Earned reevaluation as one of Reeves’ most nuanced performances

This sequel aims to:

• Connect to James Gunn’s new DC Universe (as an Elseworlds tale)

• Feature horror maestro Mike Flanagan as creative consultant

• Include cameos from other DC occult characters (Swamp Thing rumored)

PRODUCTION DARK ARTS

• Filming Locations: London’s abandoned churches, LA’s underground tunnels

• Practical Effects: 70% of demons created with prosthetics and animatronics

• Occult Advisors: Real demonologists consulted for rituals

• That Lighter: The original Zippo returns with new mystical engravings

Release Date: October 17, 2025 (perfect Halloween season)

Early Buzz: Test footage of the new hell dimension sequence reportedly made Catholic priests demand reshoots.

“This isn’t your daddy’s Constantine,” Reeves warned at Comic-Con. “The rules have changed. So has he.” With a reported $90M budget (triple the original) and a commitment to the character’s darkest comic roots, Constantine 2 may finally give the Hellblazer his due.
