While a sequel to 2005's Constantine may still be a long way off—or stuck in development limbo—fans can at least revisit the cult-classic film with the upcoming Constantine 4K Steelbook edition. Although a release date has not been set, you can preorder it on Amazon for $40. This marks the first time Constantine has been available on 4K Blu-ray. While no special features or bonus content have been announced, the release will come in a special steelbook case featuring interior art from one of the most striking apocalyptic scenes in the movie. More details, including a release date, are expected to be announced soon. For now, fans can preorder the Constantine 4K Steelbook Edition for $40 on Amazon, ensuring they get the lowest price if it changes before release, and they won't be charged until the item ships.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, Constantine is based on the DC comic series Hellblazer and stars Keanu Reeves as the titular chain-smoking demon-hunter. After getting involved with an investigator exploring the death of her twin sister, Constantine finds himself caught between the forces of Heaven and Hell. The film made some significant changes to the source material but remained faithful to the spirit of the comics. Initially, the movie wasn't well-received when it was first released two decades ago, but over the years, it has gained a cult following. A sequel starring Reeves has been in the works for years, but recent updates suggest the script is still not finished, so it's unlikely to hit theaters soon.
In the meantime, if you're curious about the character's origins, you can also pick up the John Constantine, Hellblazer Omnibus 1 for $92.84 (originally $150). This comprehensive volume collects dozens of Hellblazer story arcs, one-off issues, crossovers with other DC characters like Swamp Thing and Sandman, and behind-the-scenes materials like scripts and more. Over the years, Constantine has also appeared in other DC universe projects, including his own TV series starring Matt Ryan as the occult investigator. Although it only ran for a single 13-episode season, it is highly regarded as a faithful adaptation of the character. You can grab Constantine: The Complete Series on Blu-ray for just $18.87 on Amazon. Ryan's performance as Constantine was so popular that he even voiced the character in the animated Hellblazer films Constantine: The House of Mystery and Constantine: City of Demons, and appeared as a supporting character in other animated DC universe films like Justice League Dark, Apokalips War, and Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One and Part Two. All these movies are available on Blu-ray on Amazon.
