During the release of "I Am Legend," director Francis Lawrence was constantly asked about a possible sequel to the 2005 "Constantine." Lawrence has mentioned that a second installment could be a reality, but he would only return to produce.

In other interviews, producer Lauren Shuler Donner has stated that a sequel was a possibility. "Yes, you might, with Keanu [Reeves]," she said in November 2006. "We have been working with a team of writers to come up with a story."

Following that, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura touched on the topic as well. "I know all the filmmakers want to try to make number two," he said. "We love the character. We're hoping that we can find a way to make even, I'll say, a darker, harder version of it. We're not at that place yet where we really have the ability to get that done, but I know Keanu wants to play that and all of us think that there is a natural, new and darker adventure with Constantine."

Now, IESB spoke to Keanu Reeves during a "Street Kings" press junket, where Reeves crushed all the "Constantine" sequel rumors, by stating that he will not return for another installment. Despite planning another movie at one time, he is now simply not interested in the character anymore.

This isn't the first time that Reeves has rejected the notion of sequels, which finally resulted in a "Matrix" trilogy. So, its not out of the question that "Constantine" could return for one more. It will either take more money to get Reeves to reprise his role or the whole thing may just be done with a different lead actor. Stay tuned.
