Constantine is one of DC’s premiere magical characters, with ties to other Vertigo characters and the members of Justice League Dark. Thus, it’s highly likely that the scoundrel magician will show up in some capacity in the upcoming cinematic DC Universe reboot. Due to the much higher profile of James Gunn’s DCU and its planned projects, however, said shared universe needs to be home to the only cinematic version of John Constantine.Supposedly, a sequel to the Constantine movie starring Keanu Reeves is still in the works, even if it’s nearly two decades after the fact. There simply isn’t enough strength in the current DC brand to make this work, especially amid recent movies. Thus, Constantine 2 might need to be officially shelved once and for all.From simply being named Constantine (as opposed to Hellblazer) and the many changes done to said titular character, it’s not hard to note how much the 2005 Constantine movie diverged from the comic book source material. In the comics, John Constantine is a blond Englishman from Liverpool who’s less of a magical expert and more of a ruffian with incredible magical knowledge. Likewise, Constantine’s grungy, unheroic outlook was a reflection of his character in general, with the comic book version of Constantine damned to Hell for his own licentiousness more so than anything else. These elements and more were changed in the movie version, which bore little resemblance to what fans of the Hellblazer comics liked so much.31 Days of Halloween: Hellblazer #27
