It's fair to say that actor Keanu Reeves is on a winning streak. With John Wick 3 doing brilliantly at the box office and the fourth installment of the series being confirmed, the actor is on a bit of a hot streak. Well to add fuel to the fire, sources say that the 54-year-old is being wanted by one of the biggest studios aka Marvel want him in their universe, despite him reportedly turning down a role already.
Despite suggestions he could be the next Wolverine, it seems Marvel Studios have got their eyes on Keanu to join the cast for the upcoming film The Eternals. The film is still relatively under wraps from the studio, though it is confirmed for release in 2020. It’s set to be directed by Chloé Zhao, and is rumoured to star Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden and Kumail Nanjiani.
According to a fan site, negotiations between Keanu and the studio are well under way, though it’s not been confirmed what role he is being considered for.
Marvel producer Kevin Feige is already excited about The Eternals, as he sees a similar trajectory for it as another Marvel series. He said in an interview, "Your reaction about not being familiar with The Eternals is perfect, because most people weren’t familiar with Guardians [of the Galaxy] and believe it or not there were people that were not familiar with Avengers or with Iron Man. So for us, its finding great stories whether people have heard of them or not and bring them to the big screen in as amazing a ways as we can."
In the MCU, The Eternals are a genetically-altered race of super-beings, the result of ‘Celestial experiments’, who live for thousands of years. Kevin added, "Eternals are one group, but we like the idea of introducing an ensemble, doing an ensemble movie from the start, as opposed to building up as we did with the first Avengers. More like Guardians, not tonally, but in terms of introducing a new group of people."
