Marvel UK Twitter Account Causes Confusion After Celebrating Keanu Reeves' Career Resurgence

In a now-deleted Tweet, the Marvel UK account just wished John Wick and The Matrix star Keanu Reeves a happy birthday by celebrating his career resurgence. What the heck is going on? Read on for more...

Signing up to star in John Wick proved to be a game-changer for Keanu Reeves' career, and we're still waiting to see if the actor will eventually choose to join the Marvel or DC Universes. 

There have been rumblings about him being eyed for roles in both worlds, though nothing has come of those rumors. Whether it was just wishful thinking on the part of online "scoopers" or Reeves simply isn't a fan of the genre is unknown, but you have to believe it could happen in the not too distant future. 

Anyway, that might explain why some fans got so excited by a Tweet sent out by the Marvel UK account today. They praised the actor's career resurgence and wished him a happy 57th birthday - a strange decision when he has zero ties with Marvel Studios or the company in general. Before you get too carried away wondering what this might mean, there is more than likely a simple explanation.

Chances are a PR company runs the Marvel UK Twitter on Disney's behalf, and as the Tweet has now been deleted, it was probably just sent out on the wrong account via a platform like TweetDeck.

Hopefully, that poor intern won't get in too much trouble!

It's probably nothing, but if it means something, I kinda want it to be leading up to the Adam Warlock casting

Kinda think this is meant to be a good graces sort of message. You know, since they're hoping to get him into their movies.

Also, commenting on his recent resurgence makes a lot more sense when you read the part about in recent years.

He’s a total badass and would be amazing in so many roles, my first thought was always SS, but at 57 he’s not getting any younger. A sequel could see us w/ a 60 year old SS. Yikes. Not saying he couldn’t kill it in the role, but I think if we want longevity for the franchise we need to look else where

john wick came out in [frick]ing 2014. a little late to the party. also... career resurgence? the guy does not need money. between the matrix 3 and john wick im sure there were a million movie roles thrown at the guy. he can pick the ones he likes.

With his age... He is going to be the MCU Charles Xavier... its not that hard imagine him bald (Matrix vibes...) Even... he has an eyes resemblance to Patrick Stewart.

Older and more prominent actors are occasionally cast as villains in the MCU (often times as one-off). Would be interesting if they do the same with Keanu.
