Why the delay
Apart from the ongoing pandemic situation, Reeves has been super busy with his new projects, Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 . So getting the dates from Reeves for yet another project is going to be tough at the moment. This is said to be the probable reason for the delay regarding the confirmation of the project.
Fans do have high hopes considering that Peter Stormare himself sealed the strong possibility of a sequel.

Keanu Reeves played John Constantine, Peter Stormare played the Devil, Tilda Swinton played Gabriel and Rachel Weiss played Angela.
