Keanu Reeves enjoyed something of a career resurgence after John Wick, and has become one of the most popular and in-demand actors out there over the past few years. The Matrix Resurrections star is often fan-cast in various Marvel and DC roles, but it seems one iconic comic book hero, in particular, has really piqued his interest.
Reeves will get to voice the Dark Knight in the upcoming DC League of Super-Pets animated movie, but it sounds like he may also have designs on donning the cape and cowl for real at some point.
"It's always been a dream, but [Robert] Pattinson's got Batman right now and he's doing awesome, so maybe down the road," Reeves told Extra when asked if he had any interest in playing Batman in live-action. "Maybe when they need an older Batman."
Pattinson is indeed playing the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves' "Batverse," but we will also see both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton return as their respective takes on Bruce Wayne in The Flash. The nature of DC's Multiverse opens the door to multiple versions of the same heroes and villains sharing the same universe(s), so Reeves might well get the opportunity to live his dream down the line.
For the time being, we'll have to make do with hearing Reeves' Bat-voice when DC League of Super-Pets hits theaters on July 29.
