Keanu Reeves would love to play Constantine again

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Francis Lawrence's 2006 adaptation of DC's Hellblazer comic CONSTANTINE starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz is one of the top movies for me that I wish had been better. I mean all the ingredients were there for a new classic. But ala the final version was 'meh' and I have since been hoping Reeves returned to the role to right the wrongs. And it looks like that is still a possibility as today we have word via Reeves himself that he is still up from playing John Constantine again. Specifically, Reeves says:

I’ve always wanted to play John Constantine again. I just love that world, too, and I love that character. I just had a blast playing the character and (playing) in that world.

For those of you that might not know, the Reeves' CONSTANTINE flick followed 

a suicide survivor, demon hunter John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) who has literally been to hell and back — and he knows that when he dies, he's got a one-way ticket to Satan's realm unless he can earn enough goodwill to climb God's stairway to heaven. While helping policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) investigate her identical twin's apparent suicide, Constantine becomes caught up in a supernatural plot involving both demonic and angelic forces. Based on the DC/Vertigo "Hellblazer" comics.

CONSTANTINE was directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay written by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello based on a story by Brodbin based on characters from the DC Comics Hellblazer graphic novels. Lauren Shuler Donner, Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Erwin Stoff, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and Akiva Goldsman produced and the flick starred Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, and Peter Stormare.
