The director of Constantine, Francis Lawrence, opened up about the movie’s long-awaited sequel now that DC Studios has had a changing of the guard.
James Gunn and Peter Safran are out at DC Studios in a sudden and unexpected move that has sparked no end of worry and speculation among fans. Gunn, for his part, cited a distaste for the “corporate” side of the job, but confirmed that projects already in motion, like Man of Tomorrow, are still a-go.
Fans aren’t the only ones scratching their heads about what might happen next. Francis Lawrence, the director of oodles of Hollywood blockbusters, is also in this boat — though he’s rather optimistic about the situation, as it means he might finally get the chance to make another Constantine film.

Speaking with Collider ahead of his next movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Lawrence clarified that he isn’t happy for anyone to lose their jobs, but admitted that he’s keen on the possibility of getting Constantine 2 off the ground now that things are changing at DC.
