Rumor: Marvel Want Keanu Reeves For A Role In The Eternals — Who He Can Play

One of the two movies expected to arrive in 2020 from the MCU is The Eternals and we are starting to hear bits of casting rumors for this movie. We have already heard that Marvel has approached Angelina Jolie for one of the lead roles, likely Sersi, as well as a rumor that Game of Thrones star Richard Madden was also being looked at. Now we may have a clue about another megastar Marvel are approaching for this movie.

According to MCU Cosmic, Marvel is seriously trying to court John Wick star Keanu Reeves for a role in The Eternals. Whilst we do not have any real clue as to what this role may be, the obvious choice seems to be the antagonist role of Druig. Fans online have pointed out already that Reeves looks like a good fit for Druig and you can catch a comic image of the character below.

Now, this is just a rumor and the Druig link is really just guesswork from fans at this point. However, we had heard Druig may be the villain in this movie already, and it would match Marvel’s normally strategy of bringing in big actors for one film only roles as villains. Reeves would look to me like the perfect fit for the character, if that is indeed who they are looking at for Reeves to play?

Druig in the comics was involved at one point in his life with the KGB and found out he enjoyed torturing people. This could be a nice link in with Black Widow which is currently filming and expected to be the first MCU film released of Phase 4. since Widow was involved herself with KGB, I wonder if Reeves (if he signs) could have a small cameo in that leads directly into The Eternals?

I for one would love to see Reeves playing a proper villain in the MCU, so let’s hope the star signs up and takes his turn in the MCU spotlight, and this rumor is true.
