Keanu Reeves Breaks Silence On His DC Comeback As The Cynical Exorcist With Constantine 2: “I Was Like, ‘Can I please have some more?'”

James Gunn and Peter Safran have been cancelling actors and projects since the time they got appointed as the new heads of the DC Studios. Amidst all the rejections and cancellations, they made a surprising announcement revolving around the 2005 film Constantine. The Studio has announced a sequel to the film. The first film had Keanu Reeves portraying the role of cynical exorcist John Constantine. And now, the actor has opened up about the same. Scroll down to know more.

For the record, the first part did not do well at the box office, nor did it receive a positive response from the critics. But now, the scenarios are different, superhero movies are doing sufficiently well, and Reeves is a big deal also. Not to forget, when the film came out, there was no DC Universe. Last year only the actor brought forth the news of his comeback as the DC character.

Keanu Reeves had been quite excited about it, and in a recent interview with Total Film, he revealed his thoughts on Constantine 2. He said, “I don’t know if it was unfinished business, but it was definitely a role that I loved. And I thought that Francis Lawrence, the director, did such amazing work. I loved playing that character, and I really enjoyed the film. I was like, [adopts Oliver Twist voice] ‘Can I please have some more?'” As per the report, he would constantly ask them about the film, and they would repeatedly put him down. “I kept asking almost every year. I’d be like, ‘Can I please?’ [and] they’d be like, ‘No, no!'”
