Keanu Reeves has had a long and distinguished acting career, leaving a lasting impression on film with his captivating on-screen presence and striking good looks. The actor became well-known for his portrayal of Ted “Theodore” Logan in the successful “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” series. He became a worldwide star thanks to the movie series’ endearing charisma and humorous timing. He later demonstrated his acting talent by taking on the iconic role of the cyberpunk hero Neo in the “The Matrix” movie series.
In the “John Wick” movie, Reeves’ portrayal of the title character kept the audience spellbound. The actor reinvented the action genre with his obsessive devotion to martial arts training in order to prepare for the part. The Devil’s Advocate, A Scanner Darkly, and Replicas are just a few examples of how Reeves’ acting skills extend beyond comedy and action. The actor’s latest ventures are sure to pique spectators’ intense attention given his stellar filmography. We have information about Reeves’ upcoming films and TV shows if you’re interested.
Ballerina (2024)
The ‘John Wick’ film series spin-off ‘Ballerina’ follows ballerina-assassin Rooney as she seeks down those responsible for her family’s homicide. The movie’s events occur between “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” and “John Wick: Chapter 4.” In the action-thriller movie, Reeves will return as John Wick, and Ana de Armas (of “Blonde” and “Deep Water”) will play the major character of Rooney. Len Wiseman, noted for his work on the “Underworld” film series and “Total Recall,” directed the picture. The movie is currently in post-production and is slated to hit theatres on June 7, 2024. In addition to Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Lance Reddick (in a posthumous role), Ian McShane, and Norman Reedus, it also stars them.
BRZRKR (TBA)
The ‘BRZRKR’ comic book series by Reeves and Matt Kindt is being adapted into a live-action movie and an anime series by Netflix. The protagonist of the comic books is an immortal warrior named Berzerker who battles his way through time. Both projects will be produced by Reeves, who will also star in them. Mattson Tomlin will write the screenplay for the movie adaptation. Reeves will voice his movie role in the anime series, which is a spin-off. The actor has already stated that he would like to helm the live-action movie. The movie and the anime series are both presently in production and will be available on Netflix. The release date has not yet been made public, though.
Constantine 2 (TBA)
A sequel to the superhero movie “Constantine” from 2005 is now in production, reuniting stars Keanu Reeves and Francis Lawrence. Based on the eponymous DC Comics character, the actor returns as the otherworldly exorcist and demonologist John Constantine. Despite having a story in mind, the writer of the horror movie, Akiva Goldsman (‘A Beautiful Mind’ and ‘The Crowded Room’), acknowledged in July 2023 that he hadn’t yet begun “typing” the script.
Additionally, in an interview with Deadline, Goldsman drew a comparison between Reeves and his character, saying, “The character is very much Keanu and the way he and Francis saw the world of good and evil, and the wonderful and authentic noir where there is a world behind the world of good and evil coexist with our world right up close. In addition to that, we are continually learning about it as I write the script. No new information has been provided on the film’s production as of yet.
Good Fortune (TBA)
Reeves co-stars in the comedy ‘Good Fortune,’ written and directed by Aziz Ansari, with Seth Rogen (‘The Interview’ and ‘This Is the End’). For the time being, the specifics of the story and its characters are being kept a secret. With this movie, Ansari makes his debut as a feature film director and also stars in an unspecified role. According to reports, the movie was in production in May 2023. However, because to the WGA strike, filming was put on hold. When the film will finally be released and when production will resume are both unknowns due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
John Wick: Chapter 5 (TBA)
The fifth chapter of the popular action-thriller series is titled “John Wick: Chapter 5.” In May 2023, Lionsgate Motion Picture President Joe Drake said that the neo-noir movie was in development. “As you are aware, Ballerina is the first spinoff that will be released in 2019. This is official. In addition to [‘John Wick: Chapter 5’] and the upcoming television series ‘The Continental,’ we are also working on three additional projects, the producer revealed at the time.
We’re creating the world, and when the ‘5’ movie is released, it will have naturally developed from the way we’re beginning to present those stories. But John Wick has a consistent cadence,” Drake continued. Chad Stahelski, who directed the previous four films, admitted in August 2023 that he was still working on the fifth film’s script. In a podcast, the director admitted that while he and Reeves are keen to continue the franchise, they must first develop a plot. As a result, there is no guaranteed release date for the movie, which is currently in the early stages of creation.
Outcome (2023)
In the dark comedy “Outcome,” Reef, a failed Hollywood star, gets blackmailed with a bizarre video footage from his past and is compelled to face his inner demons and seek atonement. Jonah Hill, who also directed the Netflix documentary “Stutz” and the coming-of-age movie “Mid90s,” is the film’s director. While Hill also appears in the movie, the rest of the cast hasn’t been revealed. The film, which was co-written by Hill and Ezra Woods, is now in pre-production and is planned for release on Apple TV+ on November 19, 2023.
