RUMOR: Marvel Studios Might Want Keanu Reeves To Play MOON KNIGHT In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Keanu Reeves is a hot favorite to play Marc Spector in Disney+'s Moon Knight, and an interesting new rumor suggests that the John Wick star is high on Marvel's list of possibilities for the role!

Before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic started closing down Hollywood, Moon Knight was on track to start production later this year. This left fans hoping that casting news might be incoming, but with work now halted on, well, everything, it could be months before we find out who will play the unhinged Marc Spector on Disney+. 

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has been rumored for the series, though later denied being involved. Baywatch's Zac Efron's name has also done the rounds online a few times, but what about the beloved, bearded, badass lead of the John Wick trilogy?

A rumor shared by GWW's Editor-in-Chief KC Walsh suggests that Keanu Reeves is someone's top pick at Marvel Studios to play Moon Knight.

His name is one that's been mentioned a lot by fans since the series was announced, but this is definitely not something we should put too much stock in at the moment. Also, even if there is some truth to this, with The Matrix 4 only just starting production, scheduling issues could prevent it from happening.

Disagree, he won't do a Disney+ run. I think that Daniel Radcliffe is a better choice, he has something to prove as an action star.

Keanu should be SILVER SURFER!

@Quexul - i would like to see what Radcliffe could do with the role too. Marvel loves a left field actor pull so could see them looking at him.

@Quexul - My main gripe is that Radcliffe is 5'5", while Reeves is 6'1". Not to mention, height adjustment adds more time to post-production. He's a good actor, but physically, he doesn't really come close.

@Quexul -
However it happens we need Keanu in the MCU. I like Silver Surfer for him personally.

The Radcliff thing was made up out of whole closth and there is no truth to it, althought I htink he has the range for it.

@MrMediocre -
So then what you are saying is that Daniel Radcliffe is going to play Woverine?

@Quexul - Agreed on both points.

@Quexul - Shia LaBeouf would be my first pick for this role. He’s the right age, has the physicality for the part, and seems unhinged enough (in a good way) to do a convincing job of portraying the struggles with mental illness that are such a fundamental aspect of Moon Knight’s character.

Here’s the thing. I like Keanu, and who doesn’t, but he’s older than Robert Downey Jr. I think he would have been a perfect choice for any number of superhero roles 15-20 years ago. Sure, bring him into the MCU, but for the sake of his health and comfort, don’t make him starve himself and put on 20 lbs of muscle to play a hero in a spandex suit.

Too old.

If MoonKnight is gonna play a role in the MCU for the foreseeable future, then they should look to cast someone a little younger, maybe someone in the early to mid 30s, and someone they can tie to a long term contract... I love Keanu and all, BUT, dude is no spring chicken, hes gonna tun 56 soon.

I don't know much about Moon Knight, but Keanu is too old lol. Plus, I don't think he says yes to being on a streaming service TV show.

@KWilly - didn’t someone say something about Ben being Batman ?

Everyone is saying he's too old, and for these types of long term projects it is a fair and defining point. But Reeves, like Tom Cruise, is a beast at his craft. For his age, he's certainly exceptionally capable.

@BobbyDrake - Time for Morpheus to pass the torch to Neo 😎

@Tasmaniac - Well anything with the Surfer would be a SFX heavy venture so imagine if Morpheus voiced Galactus and Neo voiced the Surfer.

Tasmaniac - 5/4/2020, 4:22 PM
@lawndart - That’s a pretty cool idea.
