Over the past few years, Keanu Reeves has become a national treasure among general audiences. Due to his reemergence in the John Wick franchise, the actor has also become more vocal about reprising some of his previous roles, one of which includes John Constantine.

Speaking to Variety as part of the John Wick: Chapter III press tour, Reeves seemed to be very enthusiastic about the prospects of returning to the DC Comics character:

I've always wanted to play John Constantine again. I just love that world, too, and I love that character. I just had a blast playing a character and in that world.

Now that Warner Bros. is dealing with non-DCEU entities (Joker), would you want to see Reeves reprise his role from the 2005 film?

Matt Ryan is great but Keanu Reeves in a Constantine sequel would be amazing. That film is severely underrated.

@CBMFilmJunkie - What about a movie named "Dawn of the Constantinverse" where Keanu's Constantine faces Matt's Constantine?

I don’t care if it was nothing like the comic. I loved that movie

@Havenless - Yeah, people think it not being like the source material automatically makes it a bad movie. I understand not liking something for that reason. I really do, but ... I don't have that problem with this movie. lol

Its an underrated film but he wasn't a particularly good Constantine.

They need to make another Constantine, divorced from the DCEU, and get Dan Stevens

@BlackBeltJones - If I'm not mistaken, he was considered for the Del Toro JL Dark film, and we got to see some great concept art of him

I liked that movie a bunch, i have a feeling a lot of people around here weren’t of age during this era of superhero movies. We were just excited to see what they could do with CG a lot of the time

It was an objectively good movie, it just wasn't about a character named John Constantine.
