FANTASTIC news! Can’t wait. Scrap the show please and base the Dark Universe around this Constantine
Keanu's Constantine wasn't exactly comic book-accurate but I love the film so this is amazing news for me.
I’m a huge fan of that movie. I saw the movie first, then read a bunch of the Delano Hellblazer comics, watched the Matt Ryan series and the animated films… I think my favorite take on the character is the 2005 movie. It was overflowing with style, and I maintain it is Lawrence’s best film. Fingers crossed Swamp Thing pops up in this.
Might be wishful thinking, but the revival of this iteration of Constantine lends credence to the rumor that Zaslav is angling to get Nolan and Bale back for one more Batfilm. Just the idea that Zaslav is willing to revisit a film that came out in 2005 says to me that he’s looking backwards at what worked in the past. And we all know that TDKT really worked for audiences.
IIRC (correct me if I’m wrong) the Bale/Zaslav rumor came from one of the trades… he might be working on a deal as we speak. If Bale was willing to work on an appalling CBM like Love and Thunder, I think he might sign for one more Batfilm. That is, if they can get Nolan back too.
Likewise, thought the first was okay but didn't love it. Still, I'd approach a second one with an open mind.Didn't care for Keanu's Constantine, but good for fans of the movie I guess.
I’d think he could recognize the script wasn’t good though. He should’ve held out for a better MCU film but I guess he wanted to work with Taika.I don't think he went into it knowing it would to turn out bad though lol

I’m sure Bale only worked for like 2 weeks, if that. He’s barely in the movie.Considering they used a lot of improv it's possible they didn't even have a finished script before they started shooting.
You're right, Anne and Nolan doing a Catwoman movie would be better.I am honestly fine if Bale never returns to the character. He and Nolan put together a well-received and completed trilogy. They told a complete story quite successfully. So the appeal of them returning (vs. like Raimi/Maguire getting to do SM4) just isn't there for me.

I think we're seeing the end of the DCEU and possibly the beginning of them going through a film rights auction like Marvel?They can't be right about DC Films being restricted to $35 million or less per project.
That's absolutely insane and would make the division a complete non-starter.
