Keanu Reeves is making his big on-screen return as Neo in The Matrix Resurrections this December, but there's another role he'd love to reprise in the future - DC antihero John Constantine.
Reeves first played the cynical occult detective in Francis Lawrence's 2005 film. The film is based on the Hellblazer comic book by DC Comics.

In a recent interview with Esquire, Reeves said that he would be very interested in portraying Constantine in the future. He also pointed out that he played many characters named “John” throughout his career.
“I love playing Constantine. John Constantine. I played Johns a lot. How many Johns have I been? I dont know. I think it's been over ten. Either way, I would love the chance to play Constantine again,” Reeves said.
Reeves is returning as a different John next year, playing the title role in John Wick 4. In addition to DC, Reeves has also been trying to delve into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to Esquire, Reeves thinks it would be an "honor" to play a role in the MCU, and he's reportedly met with Marvel head Kevin Feige multiple times.
In addition to Reeves, Constantine stars Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare and Djimon Hounsou. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but did well at the box office.
In November 2020, Stormare stated on Instagram that a sequel was "in the works", but Warner Bros. has not yet confirmed the news. We'll have to wait and see.
