Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Of all the big names the Marvel Cinematic Universe has yet to add to its diverse roster of recognizable names, Keanu Reeves remains one of the most tantalizing and elusive prospects, having made multiple statements regarding his possible involvement over the years.
In a video with Esquire in 2021, Reeves was directly confronted with questions of Marvel casting rumors, prompting an interesting response. Reeves was sure to praise the impressive work of the many creatives within Marvel Studios, calling the series more of a "Marvel-verse" than a single cinematic universe, expressing an appreciation for the scale and consistent quality the franchise was able to construct.
From a practical standpoint the idea of a longtime contract is sort of “errr” because you want to make sure the material is up to a certain level. Like the good or great level. I like the idea. I go to those kinds of movies. I grew up on them and comics and graphic novels. I didn’t know Doctor Strange as a character, I didn’t read that as a kid. I’m gonna have to read it.
This most recent meeting was far from the only time Feige attempted to find a place in the MCU for Reeves.
