Keanu Reeves to reprise his role in 'Constantine' sequel

Over two decades since the first film came out, John Constantine is set to make a comeback. And Keanu Reeves will be reprising the titular role—at least according to reports from Deadline and Variety. Both outlets confirmed that Warner Bros. is working on a follow-up film to the 2015 Constantine movie. Aside from Reeves, writer Akiva Goldsman and director Francis Lawrence will return to the project.

Lawrence will produce the movie alongside J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella. An Abrams-produced Constantine spinoff was expected to air on HBO Max, but sources claim it has been cancelled after two years of development. It seems to be another casualty of the Warner Bros.'s merger with Discovery.

Snapchat finally gets a web app

Source: Snapchat

Snapchat has succumbed to introducing a web version of its app. It has been around for Snapchat+ subscribers since July, but now you don't need to pay extra for it. You can access it through web.snapchat.com. You won't get the full app experience, though. 

It lets you take snaps (with or without lenses), send these to individual friends or group chats, and start video or audio calls. But you can't view Snap Map, Stories, Discover, Spotlight, or your snap archive. You also can't open snaps on your computer. Yes, even if you can send them. Right now, it seems Snap wants you to use the web experience more for conversations than accessing the full suite of features.
