Who Keanu Reeves Should Play in the MCU?
If you’ve been on the internet this month, you’d have noticed that everyone’s raving about Speed star Keanu Reeves. Thanks to a lead role in the John Wick franchise and seemingly an additional role each month, Reeves is now the collective heartthrob of social media. On top of that, ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis asked Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige if he had thought the actor would ever join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and he admitted they try getting Reeves on board nearly every film the studio makes.

“We talk to him for almost every film we make,” Feige laughed. “We talk to Keanu Reeves about. I don’t know when, if, or ever he’ll join the MCU, but we very much want to figure out the right way to do it.”
Suffice to say, Twitter starting flooding with fans trying to fancast the actor as an MCU character and we’ve compiled some of the best responses below.

We've established the MCU is a separate universe from our own via the different Presidents, so maybe the Keanu Reeves of
