Constantine 2 Director Sees Renewed Hope After Gunn, Safran Exit DC Studios

Filmmaker Francis Lawrence has expressed renewed optimism for a "Constantine 2" sequel following the departure of James Gunn and Peter Safran from DC Studios. Lawrence, who directed the original 2005 film, stated in a recent interview that a script is ready and he is eager to discuss the project with the new leadership under Skydance.

The exit of Gunn and Safran, who led DC Studios for four years, has created uncertainty for various DC projects.
