Lawrence beforehand talked a few Constantine sequel saying:
“I believe all of us needed to do it. It was profitable sufficient. We needed to make a accountable, extra R-rated film. By accountable, I imply we’d make a film that wouldn’t value fairly as a lot as the unique, which we thought was going to be PG-13. We labored on the sequel for some time.
