It should never have been cancelled. Details Edit. The movie made some major changes—in the comics, John Constantine is a blond English guy who wears a brown trenchcoat and speaks with a thick Liverpool accent, whereas Reeves wore a black suit and spoke like Keanu Reeves. However, casting wasn't the problem with the film; in fact, Reeves was arguably one of its better ingredients. What didn't work was the script, with scenes that were look-away-from-the-screen cheesy and a muddled plot.
The character, the premise, and the production values were all solid, so the foundation for an entertaining sequel was still there—in fact, Constantine 2 held a lot of promise, and could have been the horror comic book movie some filmgoers have wanted for years. Alas, we'll probably never get a Constantine 2 starring Keanu Reeves, and here's why. After the original film was released, director Francis Lawrence said that he wanted to do a sequel, and in , he was coming off a huge hit with I Am Legend , so he had a little extra leverage with the studio.
In a interview, however, Reeves said he didn't want to do any sequels because there were no characters he wanted to go back and play again. Perhaps at the time of the interview, he had just finished watching The Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions. Reeves has since changed his tune when it comes to sequels. I loved playing John Constantine.
I wish there was a sequel. Arriving at the hospital, Chas lays the cross in the water tank for the sprinkler systems. John storms a room packed to the brim with demons, and after threatening to "deport" them back to Hell, uses his lighter to activate the sprinklers.
With the demons injured and more vulnerable, John slays the entire crowd. He and Chas then interrupt the ritual bringing Mammon to Earth, but Chas is beaten to death by an unseen force in the process. Using incantations and sigils tattooed on his arms, Constantine forces the unseen enemy to be reveal itself; Gabriel appears and subdues John immediately.
Gabriel then throws John from the room and leans over Angela, preparing to draw forth Mammon. As Gabriel moves to stab Angela with the Spear and release the son of the Devil, John uses broken glass to slits his wrists. Time stops as Lucifer arrives to personally collect his soul. Lucifer at first laughs it off and completely dismisses John, but John's sureness prompts him to investigate.
Finding Gabriel in the opposite room, he immediately sends Mammon back to Hell. After a brief verbal fight, Gabriel attempts to smite Lucifer. When nothing happens, Lucifer smugly informs Gabriel that Gabriel has lost the favor of God. The angel's wings are burned away by Lucifer, and Gabriel becomes human.
In return for his help, Lucifer grants John a favor. John asks Lucifer to allow Isabel to go to Heaven. When Lucifer tries to drag John to Hell, he finds that he cannot move him further; John is redeemed by his self sacrifice and begins to rise into Heaven.
Infuriated by the idea of losing John's soul, Lucifer heals his wounds and cures him of his cancer so that he may live again, promising that John will prove he belongs in Hell. Constantine departs with the Spear after refusing the temptation to kill Gabriel; he simply punches Gabriel. He gives the Spear to Angela instructing her to hide it, then forget it. As he watches her leave, instead of producing a cigarette, he starts to chew on some nicotine gum.
Sometime later, John visits Chas' grave. People are evil, Mr. John Constantine : You're right. We're born capable of terrible things, but then sometimes something else comes along and gives us just the right nudge. Angela Dodson : Well, this has been real educational, but I don't believe in the devil. John Constantine : You should. He believes in you. Sign In. Play trailer Action Fantasy Horror.
