Keanu Reeves is returning to the DCEU.

Warner Bros. announced Friday that the studio has greenlit a sequel to the 2005 movie Constantine and that Reeves will once again play the role. The studio also announced it will bring back the first film’s director Francis Lawrence, best known for taking over the Hunger Games franchise after the first film.

Also on board is Akiva Goldsman who will write the screenplay and produce the project through his Weed Road Pictures, alongside Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella.

This coincides with the news that HBO Max will not move forward with its in-the-works series centered around the character, which also was essayed by Welsh actor Matt Ryan, who portrayed the character on The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, a role he carried over from NBC’s short-lived Constantine (2014–2015). The proposed series, also a product of J.J. Abrams’ production house Bad Robot, will be sent to the marketplace in search of a new home.

Reeves though, was the first to star as the supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine, who nearly met his maker in the original, but stayed around to save his soul by keeping demons from hell from breaching earth. He also gets between a battle between the archangel Gabriel and Lucifer. The cast for the first Constantine also included Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf and Tilda Swinton.

Reeves said last year that he was interested in another turn playing the DC Comics anti-hero. “I love playing Constantine. John Constantine,” Reeves said. “I’ve played a lot of Johns. How many Johns have I played? I don’t even know. I think it’s over ten. But anyway, I’d love to have the chance to play Constantine again.”
