Deadline exclusively reports that DC Studios, led by "Superman" director James Gunn, has begun developing a new "Constantine" movie, tapping "Evil Dead Wrath" director Francis Galluppi to write the screenplay.
Warner Bros. Pictures is set to release "Evil Dead Wrath" in North America on April 7, 2028, but the studio and DC are clearly impressed with Galluppi’s work, giving him another opportunity to tackle a major franchise project well ahead of the film’s theatrical debut.
A sequel to the 2005 movie starring Keanu Reeves was also announced several years ago, with original director Francis Lawrence and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman returning to develop the follow-up. Production has yet to begin, however, and updates have been scarce for some time. With a separate new movie now moving forward, the Reeves-led sequel appears increasingly unlikely to happen.
