Despite turning down previous opportunities such as Captain Marvel and Spider-Man spin-off films, Marvel Studios continued to approach the actor for another project. Let’s delve into the details.
Keanu Reeves and his association with the MCU
Keanu Reeves, having established himself as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, has garnered immense popularity among fans. Given his success in various blockbuster franchises, rumors about his potential entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been circulating for some time. Among these rumors, there was a period when Reeves was in talks to make his debut in the MCU with the film “The Eternals.”
The missed opportunities and potential roles
Despite numerous reports suggesting Keanu Reeves joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, none of them materialized into actual castings. While the actor himself expressed a desire to portray the iconic character Wolverine, he was considered for a role in the MCU movie helmed by Chloe Zhao. Although it remains unclear which specific character Reeves was offered, speculation pointed towards the possibility of him portraying Druig, alongside Angelina Jolie’s Thena.
Rejected projects and the role of Bary Keoghan
In addition to “The Eternals,” Keanu Reeves declined offers to be a part of other Marvel projects, including “Captain Marvel” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” As Reeves did not join the cast of “The Eternals,” the role eventually went to Bary Keoghan. Interestingly, even Reeves himself acknowledged that he would have been curious to see what he could have brought to the character of Druig. This statement came from Keoghan, who reflected on Reeves potentially taking the role.
The cast of Eternals and the missed opportunity
“Eternals” featured an ensemble cast, including notable actors such as Angelina Jolie as Thena, Richard Madden as Ikaris, and Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo. While the film received praise, it is undeniable that Keanu Reeves joining the franchise would have added another layer of excitement for fans.
