Keanu Reeves the Next Batman? 'John Wick' Actor Shares Superhero Dream
Keanu Reeves finally has a suspected superhero role after being courted for years.
Reeves has been one of the most in-demand actors in the industry, and he has already received a handful of potential roles because of his acting skills.
Aside from portraying the lead role in "Constantine," the "John Wick" actor is now up to play a superhero role.
During the Los Angeles premiere of "DC League of Super-Pets" on Wednesday, the 57-year-old expressed how much he enjoyed voicing Batman. With that, he would love to portray the role in a live-action.
"I love Batman as a character, and I love him in the comic books, the films, so to get the opportunity to voice - to play - Batman was awesome," he said, as quoted by PEOPLE. "But there's ... Pattinson's got Batman right now, and he's doing awesome, so maybe down the road. Maybe when they need an older Batman."
Reeves' comments came after "The Batman" director Matt Reeves confirmed at Cinemacon in April that Pattinson and the whole team would be back for "The Batman 2."
Keanu Reeves Once Rumored To Play THIS Marvel Superhero Role
In 2020, Reeves had a full-packed schedule as his films, including "Toy Story 4," "Bill & Ted Face the Music," "The Matrix 4," and "John Wick: Chapter 4" aired all at once in the same year.
We Got This Covered reported that Reeves might play the incarnation of the role of Ghost Rider's Johnny Blaze for Marvel Studios. MCU fans, however, theorized that the update and information about the collaboration were just being held off due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Marvel Studios' Big Boss Kevin Feige also publicly showed his love for Reeves, showing his desire to add him to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He told ComicBook.com in 2019 that he had been pouring all his efforts to invite the actor to the franchise.
"We talk to him for almost every film we make," the MCU big boss revealed. "I don't know when, if, or ever he'll join the MCU, but we very much want to figure out the right way to do it."
Feige reportedly started to try bringing him into the 2000 film "X-Men."
He went on and compared the studio's interest in Reeves to Jake Gyllenhaal -- who the president talked to "multiple times" before he joined "Spider-Man: Far From Home" as Mysterio since it was indeed the perfect fit for him.
