Keanu Reeves’ Constantine occupies an interesting place in the comic book adaptation canon. It’s certainly not the most faithful iteration of the Vertigo story — exorcist John Constantine is notably blonde and British, while Reeves is the complete opposite — which has invited a bit of controversy around the film, even decades later. The DC franchise has made attempts to move on from Constantine with more comics-accurate stories, both in a 2014 series and with a reboot long in development at Max. Bafflingly, though, it’s become increasingly difficult to axe the project that started it all on the big screen. After the Reeves renaissance kick-started by John Wick, the actor is officially back as Constantine.
