It's too late for Point Break 2, Swayze is gone, and it wouldn't be the same without that character.
shareSwayzes character died at the end of the movie
shareWell, yes and no. It's implied that he died but they also left it ambiguous as well letting the audience think, "maybe he died or maybe he didn't" since he disappeared into the waves, and we never saw his dead body. They were going to do a Point Break 2 with Swayze coming back in the 2000's before Swayze got sick, so that tells me his character was intended to be still alive. Even if his character is dead, I just don't think the sequel will be as good without Swayze and Keanu playing off each other, that's what made part 1 so memorable.

“We’re starting with two projects that are fun and very much Warners; the sequel to I Am Legend, with Will and Michael B. Jordan, and the sequel to Constantine with Keanu Reeves that Francis Lawrence is going to direct. So I’m coming out of the gate fast. We’re doing it with JJ Abrams, and Francis and Keanu and I have been pretty deep in the story breaking stage.”
The 2005 original grossed $280 million worldwide and started with a strong lead and a promising premise to be built upon, but it was a one-off. That was until De Luca and Abdy made it a priority last fall. Reeves will reprise as supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine, who in the original is dying but stays around to save his soul by keeping demons from hell from breaching earth. He also gets between a battle between the archangel Gabriel and Lucifer.
Goldsman is writing the script, and Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Erwin Stoff will executive produce the project.
“This is a credit to Keanu, who endlessly has said, ‘this is the character I want to return to,'” Goldsman told Deadline. “Finally, he said it enough times that it stuck.” Reeves’ revival in the John Wick films surely helped the cause. The new film expands on the themes the original brought, about maintaining the barrier between earth and the evil creatures that are on the other side.
“The character is very much Keanu and the way he and Francis saw the world of good and evil, and the wonderful and authentic noir where there is a world behind the world of good and evil coexist with our world right up close. Beyond that, we are still discovering it as I am writing the script.”
