The Constantine sequel is inching closer to finally coming to fruition, as work on the long-gestating film is set to ramp back up imminently.Director Francis Lawrence had been working with writer Akiva Goldsman and star Keanu Reeves on their planned Constantine sequel when the project was held up due to the WGA strike. It has since been on the backburner, leading to increased doubt that the film will actualy come to be, but Lawrence has shared a positive update in a new interview with THR. The director explained how his full focus is on Constantine 2 following the recent release of his Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and the plan was to resume work on Constantine 2 with Goldsman and Reeves after the Thanksgiving holiday.”We’ve had many obstacles [with production],” Lawrence said. “Me, Keanu, Akiva 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, and then J.J. [Abrams] was going to try and do something. And then the regime at DC changed, and they’ve got their plans. 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.”Original Constantine Star Sparks Further Doubt About the Sequel’s Chances
