Keanu Reeves reportedly circled The Acolyte and may nonetheless enter the Star Wars universe sooner or later

Most Star Wars followers are both celebrating (for some bizarre motive) or mourning the dying of The Acolyte at Disney Plus earlier this month. In fact, this has prompted much more conversations concerning the present from the individuals who made it and people within the know, and now we’ve discovered that Keanu Reeves may’ve been a part of it.

We should take this surprising reveal with a grain of salt, because it’s nothing however a rumor as of now (and it’s unlikely we’ll get a affirmation now that the present is cancelled), however Jeff Sneider, a famend Hollywood insider, isn’t too far off the mark in the case of Star Wars, so likelihood is conversations between Reeves and Lucasfilm did occur in some unspecified time in the future.

The information got here from Jeff Sneider’s weekly publication (viaStarWarsNewsNet), the place the pretty reliably scooper acknowledged Reeves was really fairly within the function that was provided, which was that of Grasp Sol. Ultimately, nevertheless, his schedule didn’t work out attributable to Ballerina commitments and he needed to stroll away from it. As everyone knows, Grasp Sol was lastly performed bySquid Recreation star Lee Jung-jae, who delivered one efficiency worthy of all of the reward it acquired.

In fact, this could’ve put Reeves on the small display screen once more subsequent to his Matrix co-star Carrie-Anne Moss, who did seem within the sequence in an important function as Jedi Grasp Indara, so possibly the winks to that film sequence would’ve been an excessive amount of for viewers anyway.

This isn’t the primary time Reeves – who will likely be seen voicing Shadow the Hedgehog in theaters this Christmas – has been linked to The Acolyte. Final yr, there have been some rumblings of him having a cameo within the sequence, and likelihood is these rumors got here from disjointed chatter and ideas from again when he supposedly sat down to speak with Lucasfilm.

In response to Sneider, there’s nonetheless a very good likelihood Reeves could be becoming a member of the Star Wars universe sooner relatively than later, as all events concerned are reportedly . It’s now only a matter of discovering the proper function and making the timing work. What if James Mangold casts him as the primary Jedi ever in his ‘Daybreak of the Jedi’ prequel film? That looks like an ideal match for the One and would promote so many tickets, I believe.
