Lawrence said that Earilr’s film this year is “closer than ever to be able to make a sequel, which is a great thing”.

The director also said they have something “really interesting” in the processing, adding that he, Reeves and the Akiva Goldsman producer “are super, super enthusiastic”.

Reeves previously said: “It is almost like an open playground in which we can hope to cook something and play, and I imagine that leaving the playground and preparing a meal.

“But I can’t wait, and I hope, it may happen. You don’t know how these things go. But I will certainly try to try to realize that dream.”

At the beginning of this year, Peter stormywho memorably interpreted Lucifer in the first film, shared his perspective on why development was such a process and forth.

“[There’s] a lot of back and forth, because … I think Keanu [Reeves] He is not so happy with scripts. It took a long time for [the original] To become a cult film.

“It really worked and will work again on the public. You don’t have to add a lot of action and shootings. You have other movies.

“Don’t turn it into great wonder … [Don’t turn it] In us flying around harnessing all the time and shooting each other. Do not bring the big guns. Let it be.”

The sequel was announced for the first time in 2022, but the updates were scarce. At the end of 2024, the first draft of the script was over, but few progress seemed to happen behind the scenes. Reeves’ latest comments, however, show that the project is not dead and that the team is still actively working to bring it in front of the study.

For now, Constantine 2 It does not have a release date, but with Reeves keeping the illuminated torch, fans can still hope that John Costantino will return to the big screen.
