It&#8217;s not known if Galluppi will be handling directorial duties in addition to his work on the script, and there&#8217;s been no mention of any casting details at this time.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">John Constantine is a comic book character created by writer Alan Moore and artists Steve Bissette and John Totleben, and is a working-class British detective who dabbles in the occult and magic. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Keanu Reeves famously played a version of the character in 2005&#8217;s Constantine, and a sequel has been anticipated by fans for quite a number of years now. In late 2025, Reeves issued an update on Constantine 2,  telling Fandango that a new draft of the sequel&#8217;s script had been completed and that it was going to be presented to DC Studios. However, there have been no updates since then, and it&#8217;s not known whether Galluppi&#8217;s new script is intended to serve as a sequel to Reeves&#8217; original, or if it will be a completely new take on the demon-dispatching detective.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Constantine: City of Demons Images<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Meanwhile, Galluppi&#8217;s Evil Dead Wrath is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on April 7, 2028. It will be the seventh installment in the Evil Dead film series, and will serve as a prequel to 1981&#8217;s The Evil Dead, with its story taking place in 1972. Galluppi developed and brought the story to franchise creator Sam Raimi and his team back in 2024, off the back of the up-and-coming American filmmaker earning critical acclaim for his debut feature, The Last Stop in Yuma County.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Around that time Raimi told Deadline that, &#8220;Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence. He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Tristan Ogilvie Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oyster.ignimgs.com\/social\/avatars\/users\/231675083.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/oyster.ignimgs.com\/social\/avatars\/users\/231675083.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Tristan Ogilvie is a senior video editor at IGN based in Sydney, Australia.
