Fans are getting closer and closer to seeing the return of Keanu Reeves. Constantine As the long-awaited sequel now appears to be on the verge of going into production. While there are several moments in the demonic story and Judeo-Christian mythology that have been controversial for some, the producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura He revealed that there was a moment that Warner Bros. had to cut from the film because they considered it a step too far by the studio.
Di Bonaventura attended this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and during a conversation with ComicBook.com the producer was asked about the film’s production and its continued popularity with fans. While recalling ConstantineWhile developing the film, he recalled a particular scene that had to be removed from the script at the studio's request. He said:
“Peter Stormare is the greatest devil ever. We discussed something that would have, I think, caused people to boycott theatres altogether… We talked about putting a crown of thorns on the devil, and I think every Christian would have stormed the doors of the theatre, so we didn’t do that. I think the white suit and the tar drips – that’s what made it work.”
There were certainly more than enough controversial moments in the film without this inclusion, but as times change, movies and TV shows now push the boundaries more than ever, whether Constantine 2 We will be exposed to a similar kind of restrictive eye, and that is something we will have to wait and find out.
Constantine 2 is finally a reality
Fans have been waiting what seems like an entire lifetime for a sequel. Constantine It was very difficult to get our act together and start writing the script. After many false starts, it started to feel like this was a sequel that was never going to happen, at least not with Keanu Reeves' version of the character leading it.
But after the other Constantine Projects, including: Dark Justice League After The Last Jedi movie and TV show fell through, the original plan to bring back the fan-favorite movie is back on track, and it looks like it’s going to work this time around. Di Bonaventura recently shared an update on the status of the sequel, which has a script “not too far” from completion. During the same interview, the producer said:
“The script is in the works now, and it won’t be long. I mean, we have to come up with a good script, but we’re off to a great start because the movie star that everyone wants to work with wants to play this character again. So there’s a lot of room in this franchise to do the kind of soul-searching, madness, and religion that made the first movie so satisfying. It doesn’t surprise me at all why Keanu wanted to do that.”
