Constantine 2 (2025) continues the dark and gritty journey of John Constantine, the cynical exorcist and demonologist portrayed once again by Keanu Reeves. Years after the events of the first film, Constantine is pulled back into the war between Heaven and Hell, this time facing a new and more dangerous threat. The balance between good and evil is breaking, as an ancient demonic entity known as Belial rises, aiming to unleash a legion of forgotten demons into the human world. Constantine, still haunted by his past sins and struggling with his terminal illness, must navigate the blurred lines of faith, redemption, and sacrifice to stop the apocalypse.

The story begins with Constantine living in isolation, having distanced himself from the occult world after years of battling inner demons. However, when a series of mysterious exorcisms go horribly wrong and innocent souls are lost, Constantine realizes that something far more sinister is at play. He is approached by Angela Dodson, who now works as a psychic investigator, warning him of a prophecy that foretells the return of Belial, a fallen prince of Hell, who seeks to overthrow Lucifer himself.

As Constantine delves deeper, he discovers that a secret cult, known as the Crimson Tongue, is aiding Belial’s resurrection. Their rituals are tearing open rifts between dimensions, allowing malevolent spirits to cross over. Constantine seeks help from familiar allies, including Papa Midnite and the angel Gabriel, who now faces their own crisis of faith after being cast down to Earth. However, trust becomes a rare currency, as betrayals and hidden agendas emerge within both Heaven’s and Hell’s factions.

The stakes escalate when Constantine learns that Belial’s power source is tethered to the human soul market, where demons trade the damned in a shadowy underworld economy. With time running out, Constantine is forced into dangerous alliances, even making a temporary pact with Lucifer, who has his own reasons for keeping Belial in check. The climax leads to an intense battle in the catacombs beneath Los Angeles, where Constantine must confront Belial in a final exorcism that could cost him his life — and possibly his soul.

Constantine 2 not only amplifies the supernatural horror elements but also dives deeper into the character’s personal struggles with redemption and the concept of free will. The film blends apocalyptic tension with dark humor and philosophical undertones, leaving audiences questioning the nature of salvation in a world where even angels can fall. The ending leaves a hint of ambiguity, as Constantine’s fate remains uncertain, but his fight against darkness feels far from over.
