The audiences have had a long-standing obsession with courtroom dramas. From Suits to Better Call Saul, something about fighting injustice and the plucky plaintiffs and defendants kept everybody on their toes. The whole intrigue behind the genre is the charm of unpredictability. While audiences have seen several projects where legal has met comedy, justice, and even gangsters, there has rarely been a collaboration between legal and supernatural. This collaboration was almost as impossible as seeing Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino in the same movie.

Taylor Hackford has forever etched himself as a genius in the memory of cinema fans as he brought about a collaboration between Reeves and Pacino on screen. A path that Reeves is now looking to replicate by bringing the masterpiece back.

Keanu Reeves to bring this horror classic back

According to an exclusive by Giant Freakin Robot, the John Wick actor is all set to reprise his role in The Devil’s Advocate 2 after making the 1997’s The Devil’s Advocate a $150 Million blockbuster hit. He will be reprising his role as attorney Kevin Lomax, the devil’s son, and alongside him, Al Pacino is also rumored to reprise his role as John Milton, the devil. Although the casting of Pacino is still not confirmed, due to his active presence in the industry, he might make an appearance. However, this was not the first time news of a sequel has made waves.

Since its original release in 1997, filmmakers have made several attempts to create a sequel to The Devil’s Advocate. This was confirmed by the novelist Andrew Neiderman in 2014 during his interview with the International Business Times, where he mentioned he was working on the prequel novel Judgment Day. With almost a decade having passed since then, fans are beyond excited to see what the sequel holds.

This news caused a frenzy among the fans who were eagerly waiting for Reeves to don a lawyer’s gown once again. They also wondered who else was reprising their roles.

Which characters will make a comeback?

While it will be interesting to watch Keanu Reeves reprise his role as a badass lawyer in the horror flick, fans wonder which other characters might also make a surprise return. In the first movie, Charlize Theron portrayed Kevin Lomax’s wife, skillfully depicting her struggles with mental issues. They might have approached her for the sequel. Connie Nielsen, who played Christabella, Kevin Lomax’s seductive half-sister, although she did not survive the events of the first movie, could potentially have made a comeback.

While the movie’s release date remains unconfirmed, the fact that it’s already in production raises the possibility of fans receiving a tentative release date soon. Given that Keanu Reeves’ latest venture was a bombastic success, and the very fact that the movie is the sequel to the cult favorite Devil’s Advocate, the expectations are quite high. Only time will tell if the devil’s second attempt at advocating will prove to be successful.
