The OG co-star of Keanu Reeves in Constantine, Peter Stormare, has opened up about the creative challenges in the making of its sequel, Constantine 2.

In an interview with The Direct, the actor has talked about Keanu Reeves' response to the creative approach of the sequel. Stormare reveals that Reeves did not like the scripts of the sequel, as he mentions:

"It's a lot of back and forth, because... I think Keanu [Reeves], which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios..."

Let us find out what more Peter Stormare revealed about Keanu Reeves' reaction to the creative approach in the making of Constantine 2.

"Wants to do a sequel that is very close to the first one," reveals Constantine co-star Peter Stormare about Keanu Reeves' vision of its sequel

While speaking to The Direct, Keanu Reeves' co-star from the OG film, Constantine, Peter Stormare has elucidated on the creative challenges in the process of making Constantine 2.

Peter Stormare had portrayed the role of Lucifer in the film. It was released back in 2005. Two decades after its release, the makers are in the process of making its much-anticipated sequel. The film was indirectly inspired by DC Vertigo's comics Hellblazer.

In the interview, Stormare talks about the cultural significance of the original film. He also reveals the approach that production houses have in terms of making sequels, as he further states:

"Because the first one wasn't that successful in the beginning, it became a sleeper and became a cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever. But to do a sequel, the studios want to have, you know, cars flying in the air. They want to have people doing flip-flops and fighting action scenes."

Peter Stormare then further talks about Keanu Reeves' vision about Constantine 2. He mentions that Reeves' idea of a sequel to the film should carry the core essence of the original film. He does not want the sequel to lose the crux of what the original film had, as Stormare mentions:

"And I think Keanu says, 'I've done 'John Wick.' This movie is spiritual. It's about demons and regular people. And I wanted to keep it that way.' And we talked about that. I want to do God coming down exactly the same way, but in a black suit and looking more or less like Lucifer from the first one. I'm 12 years older, so it's going to be hard to, you know, completely imitate the first movie. But, I think from Keanu, he wants to do a sequel that is very close to the first one."

Stormare also talks about Keanu Reeves' feelings about his character in the film, as he adds:

"I think Keanu is very proud of that. He was fighting for it to be a character that he loved and wanted to develop."
