The Francis Lawrence-led film (2005) saw Reeves take on the role of John Constantine, a detective who has the ability to spot angels and demons hidden among humans.

As it seems Constantine is going to hell for a past suicide attempt, his redemption involves exorcising demons with the hopes of a place in heaven.

Now, in a recent interview with Josh Horowitz, Reeves and Lawrence openly discussed the idea of a sequel.

And it’s good news, as Lawrence said there is a ‘real possibility’ of it happening after Reeves told Stephen Colbert in 2021 he’d happily return to the role.

The director of the original explained: “And I think this thing sort of spread, and finally convinced some people that have some control, like, ‘Hey, you know what? Maybe this isn’t a bad thing’.

A sequel is definitely on the cards (Warner Bros.)

“I think it’s the combination of that and the sort of growing cult following of the original film over the years that have got people thinking like, ‘Okay, we can do this’, even if it happens to be sort of outside whatever a DC plan is for the other material that there is a version of my Constantine, Akiva’s Constantine, Keanu’s Constantine, together that’s outside of that.

“We have finally gotten to the place where we now have the permission to go down that road.

“And Akiva is writing, and Keanu and Akiva and I have been collaborating, and I think we have some really, really great ideas that we’re super, super excited about.

“And I think we’re pretty close on having an object that is really workable.

Keanu added: “Just reaffirming just how great it is to collaborate with Francis and Akiva on it.

“It’s just fun to be in the same room and talk Constantine.

“Yeah, just everyone riffing and just, you know what Akiva and Francis have come up with, and the ideas.

“I’m aching to play this guy.”

Not to make people jealous, but also during the interview Lawrence showed off a mega ‘Holy Shotgun’ prop.

“Keanu had the prop department make me a real brass,” he confessed.
