Keanu Reeves’ Constantine is slated for a brand-new streaming home beginning in September.
Director Francis Lawrence’s 2005 fan-favorite supernatural action-horror Constantine is officially headed to Prime Video as its new streaming home beginning September 1. Based loosely on the DC Comics/Vertigo Comics series Hellblazer, Constantine starred Keanu Reeves as the titular paranormal investigator and occultist. The film also starred Rachel Weisz as LAPD Detective Angela Dodson, Tilda Swinton as the angel Gabriel, Djimon Hounsou as the enigmatic Papa Midnite, Shia LeBeouf as Cosntantine’s loyal chauffeur Chas Kramer, and Peter Stormare as Luciver himself.
Although Constantine was met with lukewarm reviews upon its release, yet has gone on to become something of a modern cult classic in the years since. Though many referred to the film as goofy or lacking in focus in 2005, more kind reviews have cropped up in more recent years that praise its tone, storytelling, and masterful blending of various genres. At the box office, Constantine brought home over $230 million on a budget of less than $100 million, just barely pushing over the threshold of what is considered successful for most big budget feature films.
There Have Been Reports of Constantine Getting a Sequel
Talks of a Constantine sequel or followup film have been publicly acknowledged since at least as early as 2011, with various cast and crew members ranging from Lawrence to Stormare having weighed in and offered insight into the project’s status. In March 2023, Reeves touched on the subject during an interview, stating that those involved were trying, but were unsure if the project would come to fruition. “Hopefully I get to do it, but I don’t know,” Reeves said at the time.
In November 2023, Lawrence offered fans an optimistic update on the state of the proposed Constantine sequel. Although Lawrence noted “many obstacles” with the film’s production, Lawrence explained that “Me, Keanu, Akiva [Goldsman] have tried over the years to wrangle some control of the character again, because it had been handed over. I think NBC did a TV show, then J.J. [Abrams] was going to try and do something. And then the regime at DC changed, and they’ve got their plans.” Lawrence continued, “But luckily, we managed to wrangle some control and started working on some ideas for Constantine 2, which we’re really excited about. It’s still the very beginning, as the strike put it on hold for a little bit. So we’re probably going to start getting back together after Thanksgiving, and dig back in to try and crack it.”
