Keanu mania reached fever pitch when Reeves made a surprise appearance at the Microsoft’s E3 presentation. Reeves will play the character Silverhand in the upcoming game called Cyberpunk 2077. Some see Reeves’ casting as a way to add legitimacy to the game and to video games in general as a form of entertainment. Reeves believes no such legitimization is necessary.
“Yeah, I don’t think they need legitimizing,” he said. “If anything I’d say it’s gone the other way. It’s more of the influence gaming’s had on … let’s call it Hollywood. Certainly with the Marvel Universe, right? But then gaming probably started in the beginning with Hollywood. I think these technologies have been talking to each other.”
There have also been some rumors about where Reeves may pop up next being floating around. One suggests he’s being eyed for a role in Marvel Studios’ Eternals movie. Another suggested that he had a surprise role in the upcoming Fast and Furious spinoff Hobbs and Shaw. Hobbs and Shaw star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson debunked that rumor.
“I love Keanu,” Johnson said. “You know Keanu, obviously he’s having this just awesome time in his career. We talked about it, we talked, ‘Hey dude, just somewhere down the line, let’s do something for sure.’ But as if now, in Hobbs & Shaw, not Keanu.”
