A Constantine movie is in early stages of development at DC Studios.
As per Deadline, writer-director Francis Galluppi – who is helming the upcoming Evil Dead Wrath – will be penning the script.
Beyond that, it's so early days on the project that we have far more questions than answers.
Firstly, what does that mean for Keanu Reeves' continued attempts to reprise the otherworldly detective role after appearing in 2005's Constantine?
"Fingers crossed. Another draft of the script came in," Reeves told Rotten Tomatoes just last year when asked how things were going with the prospective Francis Lawrence-directed sequel. "We're waiting. We're gonna take it to the studio and hopefully they like it too."
DC Studios co-CEO Jaes Gunn later confirmed he had "discussed" a Constantine 2 with Keanu Reeves.
Years prior, Guillermo del Toro once had plans for Justice League Dark, a team-up movie led by Constantine and featuring a Batman cameo.
Intriguingly, Bill Skarsgård told Happy Sad Confused that he had an idea to do a Constantine at DC with IT director Andy Muschietti. The plot thickens…
Elsewhere, we need confirmation about Elseworlds, the alternate universe banner that Gunn is bestowing upon movies and shows that don't fit into DCU's main universe. Matt Reeves' Bat-verse is one of them, but will Constantine follow suit? Or could he be part of the horror-tinged side of the cinematic universe that now includes Clayface? So many burning questions, let's hope Constantine walks through Hell to give us some answers soon.
For more, we have a look ahead to all the new superhero movies in the works.
