The Eternals is putting together an incredible cast, which so far includes Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden. Now, it's been revealed that Keanu Reeves is reportedly being eyed for a role, and talks are said to already be underway. While nothing is official and the actor has yet to sign on the dotted line, there have been rumblings about this for a while now.
In recent years, things have been going extremely well for Reeves (he's back to seemingly being a highly sought after commodity in Hollywood after starring turns in this year's
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and
Toy Story 4) and this would actually be quite a big win for Marvel Studios.
Last year, a "synopsis" for
The Eternals leaked online which claimed that the movie will be set millions of years ago with a focus on the Celestials and Deviants.
It was also said that the story will revolve around the relationship between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans. There's also a lot of speculation that this movie will lead to the introduction of mutants, but we'll have to wait and see and that front.
How do you guys feel about the possibility of Reeves starring in

DRUIG
It appears as if The Eternals' big bad will be Druig, a character introduced in the pages of Eternals #11 in 1977. Despite being a Jack Kirby creation, it was actually Neil Gaiman who put this guy on the map. In the comics, he can manipulate matter and energy and served as an agent of the KGB once upon a time, something which could give this movie a big link to Black Widow.
