Reeves and the MCU?

Kevin Feige is and has been keen on getting Keanu into the MCU. After some thought even though Reeves is no spring chicken I could see him cast as Namor the Sub-Mariner.

He would have made an intriguing Black Bolt but a non-speaking part is a problem for any actor working today. I'm surprised with Vin Diesel and Groot but indeed that was a bit different role but Vin really sold it.

Yes. Reeves would be a good Namor and the closest to a Jason Mamoa type casting as Pacific Islander that has an affinity to Asian audiences.

Some people are suggesting Moon Knight on other forums.

Would the suggestion be Moon Knight for him because of his John Wick persona? That would seem to be in his wheel house. Not sure how big Moon Knight will be in this next Phase of the MCU but who knew Peter Quill/Star-Lord would be a prime character?

That'd be great.

I've heard a handful of different characters he'd be a good fit for. Out of the ones I've heard I'd most like to see him as Silver Surfer or Johnny Blaze. I'd like to see him in a villain roll and out of the ones I came across, I'd like to see him as Nightmare or The Beyonder. If he was The Beyonder he could be the one to introduce the X-Men I to the MCU via the Secret Wars.

Considering the Eternals cast isn't completely rounded out yet though, I could see him most likely cast in that.

ANYTHING...HE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT GET FOR THE NEXT PHASE.
