Keanu Reeves is known for being awesome and one of Hollywood's most beloved actors. He is famous for playing characters with action-packed scenes. What's also interesting, is how this actor has real-world skills and has even been considered for Marvel!
Keanu Reeves and the MCU
Fans have been talking about how Keanu Reeves would be a great fit for the MCU and have thrown around lots of potential casting options.
He's a master of action and the world has been talking about just how amazing this iconic actor is, bringing excitement to roles that often get people to see some serious talent! This can easily be seen from all the incredible work Keanu Reeves did in films like the Matrix series and John Wick movies, plus titles like Man of Tai Chi!
With his remarkable skill set and abilities to do almost all of his own stunts in films! What's amazing, and it would appear is Keanu Reeves has many years of training in various martial arts and this alone may just show why fans love him as a true action star.
Keanu Reeves as The Punisher
A favorite for the role is that of The Punisher. One of Marvel's greatest figures! The Punisher needs skills and not only does he have this persona as Frank Castle, one who does some hardcore combat training. Keanu Reeves shows he could match it all!
What pushed this even more into the forefront? Well Keanu Reeves has his unique talents for action and fight sequences but also, an online video shared via X. What stood out is the way he moves. It is just amazing and completely showcases this actor's gun handling skills.
- This wasn't some silly clip. He showed just how impressive he was as a "marksman" and showed amazing speed and ability to easily switch between left and right-handed aiming!
He is the real-deal and this could make him be exactly the person the MCU has been hoping to get!
Why Keanu Reeves Might Not Play The Punisher
You might think it would be perfect casting for Marvel, especially fans of Keanu Reeves might want him in their upcoming MCU productions. But the chances might be slim!
Why?
It turns out the Daredevil series might have plans for "Frank Castle," meaning it wouldn't make sense to replace such a huge role, "Jon Bernthal." Even more it seems he was pretty perfect as The Punisher in a previous Netflix series, so the timing isn't good for Keanu Reeves. This actor and role will hopefully have a chance to make it happen but its not looking too likely right now. What also isn't good, for fans that hope to see Keanu Reeves get to join Marvel is the lack of information at the moment for his role. The good news is this may mean an even bigger part is in the future. While that possibility may make some people disappointed, there's even a role Keanu Reeves himself loves!
A Possible New Role: Ghost Rider
While the Punisher might be out of reach, it is very plausible, based on some conversations that Keanu Reeves might show up as Ghost Rider in the MCU. It's possible because Ghost Rider hasn't really shown up for all of Marvel's series.
Keanu Reeves loves action movies, and his love of this style may mean another amazing role for him, even if his past appearances as this type of character in previous projects is one that the actor has not done, or may never do, as other talented performers took this special role. Even if these opportunities never appear, there might be another time, another chance, to see what is certain is his iconic action-oriented roles. Keanu Reeves has shown some incredible moments that have never stopped mesmerizing fans from everywhere!
