The highly anticipated movie faced critical delays following the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. However, we are in for a treat, as the script has been confirmed to be completed.
In the previous movie, Keanu Reeves played the role of John Constantine, a demonologist and an exorcist. He was shown to be aware of the presence of supernatural beings around him while being accompanied by LAPD detective Angela Dodson, the character portrayed by Rachel Weisz.
The movie revolved around the investigation of Dodson’s twin sister, who had committed suicide.
