Top 14 Milly Alcock Movies and TV Shows

Fans eagerly waiting for Keanu Reeves to Return as John Constantine in the new DC Movie. John A. Constantine is a British occult detective and con man, who is the protagonist of the comic book series “Hellblazer.” His primary weapon against the supernatural entities he confronts is his extensive knowledge of the occult. DC Studios co-head James Gunn recently provided an update on the very much long awaited sequel that has certainly left many fans of the cult classic feeling more than a little pessimistic about the film’s immediate future. 

Gunn spoke in the latest interview on the status of Constantine 2, stating that although there had been talks, the project is in limbo. “I’ve talked about it on and off. I’ve talked to Keanu,” said Gunn. However, he quickly deflated the fan enthusiasm by saying “I haven’t read a script yet.”  

This confession is especially troubling considering The second installment began production in September 2022. when Warner Bros. announced that Reeves and original director Francis Lawrence would return for a second chapter. The project is hovering in the middle for almost two years now and the completed script still hasn’t been confirmed by the DC studio, the challenges the project faces are substantial. 

Keanu Reeves Constantine 2 Script Not Reaching The Gunn’s Desk

Constantine 2’s path has been anything but smooth. It was actually revealed by Reeves himself earlier this year that both he and Lawrence have been attempting to make the sequel “for well over a decade”. Once they did finally pitch a story treatment to DC Studios, they got tentative go-ahead to write a screenplay. In early October, Reeves gave what seemed like a positive update, saying “another draft of the script came in” and that the group was planning on sending it to the studio. 

However, based on comments from Gunn in the last days, it would seem that a draft is not yet in his hands or at least not close to being at his hands.Considering Gunn’s famous motto that he needs “finished pages” to give the go-ahead on projects, and with Deadline recently reporting that he might have just that for GOTG 3, it’s promising. 

Struggles To Keep The Script Original 

The writing has been especially difficult to crack. Peter Stormare, who gave a scene-stealing performance as Lucifer in the 2005 original, revealed earlier this year that Reeves “is not so happy with the scripts” and that there’s been “a lot of back-and forth”.The problem seems to be arising from studio demands that turn the sequel into a large-budget extravaganza with lots of action scenes and special effects. 

Stormare said studios “want to have cars flying in the air, and they want to have people doing flip-flops and fighting action scenes.” However, Reeves is pushing back, refusing to lose the spiritual, grounded tone that ultimately made the original a cult classic. “This movie is spiritual. It’s got demons and ordinary people,” said Stormare, underscoring Reeves’ commitment to keeping the sequel faithful to the darker, more reflective tone of its predecessor. Not wanting to turn this one into another DC superhero movie.

Why Constantine Deserves Better

Constantine (2005), despite receiving mixed critical reviews at the time of release, grossed $230.9 million at the global box office on a production budget of $70-100 million. It is even more significant because over the years it grew a fiercely devoted cult following who adored its gritty supernatural noir style, philosophical musings on faith and redemption, and Keanu Reeves’ melancholy portrayal of the chain-smoking exorcist. 

The movie boasted a strong supporting cast that included Rachel Weisz, Tilda Swinton as the icy angel Gabriel, and a remarkable five minutes of Stormare as Lucifer. As a character John Constantine (adapted loosely from the DC Vertigo Hellblazer comics) had a fanbase who appreciated the darker, more adult angle on the superhero genre.

Is Constantine 2 Ready To Deliver A Creative Storyline

Gunn’s update, while discouraging, is not an absolute death knell for the project. The DC co-head did admit he “likes all those people a lot and thinks they’re talented,” so that could mean he’s open to the sequel if the right script comes together. Additionally, Constantine 2 would more than likely be under the DC’s Elseworlds label similar to Matt Reeves’ The Batman franchise which would separate it from the core DC Universe timeline. 

However, the ongoing tension between Reeves’ motive to keep the original’s spiritual approach and Gunn’s expectations for a blockbuster spectacle continues to be a major obstacle for Constantine 2.

Conclusion

While waiting for Constantine 2, one thing is sure that this could beat the fans’ expectations with a great storyline as Reeves’ pushes more to the original character ground and spirituality that already made everyone fall in love with the first part. While balancing the desire for a commercially viable project that meets Gunn’s stated policy of not greenlighting projects without finalized scripts. It will definitely get a commercial hit at the box office as it follows a script that honors the character and story. 

When WandaVision initially brought Agatha Harkness in as the giddy, nosey neighbor, it seemed unlikely that she would end up as one of the MCU’s most complex and emotionally satisfying characters. Yet with Agatha All Along, Marvel didn’t only give a fan-favorite villain a moment of grandeur—it redefined her entire role in the franchise. By the time the credits start rolling, Agatha is defying life and death. She becomes something much more compelling: a spirit with loose ends to tie up, wit as sharp as ever, and a future somehow brighter than before.

Agatha All Along boils down to change

She lived for centuries by sucking the life force out of other people. Backstabbed by her coven, disowned by her mother, and shattered by the death of her son Nicholas Scratch, she was made merciless because survival required it. It doesn’t exonerate her crimes, but it at last accounts for them. In this context, her final decision is to sacrifice herself to save Billy Maximoff — isn’t just shocking, but powerfully earned. 

Death is where Marvel plays with expectations. Kathryn Explained, Agatha doesn’t disappear into heroic glory. Instead, she lingers. Bound to the mortal plane by guilt and fear—namely the fear of seeing her son in the afterlife, she comes back as a ghost. This “Ghost Agatha” twist is a narrative masterstroke. It lets her pay a cost for her past, while continuing to be active, opinionated and dangerously smart. 

Kathryn Hahn’s Performance

She balances the camp humor with real grief, and Agatha’s never allowed to become either too soft or too monstrous. Agatha will not be sanctified, not even in death. She’s still snarky, still conniving, still wildly human. That’s what makes her ghostly mentorship of Billy Maximoff so compelling. And their “Coven Two” dynamic inverts the classic mentor trope: Billy is the young one with all the raw, reality-bending power, while Agatha brings centuries of knowledge, cynicism, and hard-won survival instincts. Power can be taken away, she tells him but you can’t take away knowledge. 

This turn also beautifully matches Marvel Comics history where Agatha is famously Wanda Maximoff’s mentor from beyond the grave. The MCU takes that concept and brings it into today, reimagining Agatha as a spiritual leader for the next generation. In a universe full of gods and geniuses, Agatha holds a special place: the grey witch who plays by the rules because she’s broken all of them. 

Thematically, Agatha’s arc taps into a few pressure points the MCU frequently mishandles. She epitomizes layered female villainy not driven by domination, but by loss and survival. Her storyline runs parallel to Wanda’s — both defined by grief, motherhood, and unthinkable decisions. Having her and Billy, a son in search of family, come together adds an emotional symmetry to the narrative that seems more intentional than convenient. 

Yes I do. I love Joe Locke. Who knows what comes next? To me it was like a beautiful, complete way to say goodbye to that wonderful character I had played.
—Hahn said

Suggesting that she wants to look forward to playing this character because it’s an end is really a part of the new and exciting beginning for the next chapter.

And just as crucial is Agatha’s place in queer representation. Her tragic romance with the Death figure, Rio Vidal, is not played for a trick. Their “Kiss of Death” is personal, agonizing and definitive – a rare instance in which the arc of a major MCU villain ends through queer love, rather than violence alone. Not even Agatha’s identity is wiped away or softened in death. 

Looking ahead, Agatha’s future feels secure

A definite What If…? appearance, strong narrative connections to Vision Quest, and her organic role as a mentor figure for a Young Avengers team all suggest long-term involvement. Comic precedent even allows for a return from the dead. Ghosthood is, after all, hardly ever permanent in Marvel.

Conclusion

Agatha Harkness has become what the MCU so desperately needs: a mythic throughline in its supernatural corner. She’s proof that a story does not end in death — it can be distilled by it. A ghostly mother to confused witches and stray children, Agatha is not disappearing into the shadows. She’s haunting the future, and she’s doing it with a grin.
