John Constantine is a 2025 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Produced by DC Studios, Legendary Pictures, and The Stone Quarry, it is the fifth installment in the DC Legacy Universe (DCLU). The film was directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Zack Snyder, Jerry Bruckheimer, and David S. Goyer, and stars Charlie Hunnam in the title role along with Abbie Cornish, Levi Miller, Ben Kingsley, Daniel Kaluuya, Terrence Howard, Norman Reedus, and Peter Stormare. Set in 1983 Los Angeles, California, chain-smoking cynic and con artist John Constantine comes into conflict with the demon Trigon (reprised by Stormare) and must protect the city from being destroyed by him. During the film's production, it was announced to be released in the DCLU; with a budget of $389 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. John Constantine opened in theaters on February 5th, 2025; it received mixed reviews and is regarded as the weakest film in the DCLU, with praise for its cast, tone, action sequences, visuals, and humor but with criticism to the plot, direction, and screenplay. Despite this, the film was a box-office success and broke several box-office records during its initial run, grossing $946 million worldwide against a break-even point of $230 million. A sequel is in development as well as an upcoming Justice League Dark film.
