Things We Saw Today: Keanu Reeves Met With Marvel But Is Still Looking for a Good Fit in the MCU

Keanu Reeves has been a constant dreamcasting choice for many of our favorite heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is constantly on the tip of our tongues when we’re suggesting who he could play, and apparently the star of The Matrix Resurrections has met with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, and the two are working on finding something that works for both the MCU as a whole and Reeves.

When talking with ComicBook.com‘s Brandon Davis, Reeves admitted to meeting with Feige but said that they haven’t figured out a character yet for him to play: “We have met, and [Kevin Feige]’s a cool cat. Yeah. But no, we don’t have anything, gotta find something.”

This isn’t new news. Feige admitted to talking to Reeves to ComicBook.com back in 2019. “We talk to him for almost every film we make,” Feige said. “We talk to Keanu Reeves about. 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.”

Honestly? I’m ready. Bring him in, Kevin. I need Keanu Reeves in the MCU STAT.
