Keanu Reeves as John Wick, edited over a poster of The Acolyte
Summary New reports about Star Wars: The Acolyte have started to emerge following the Star Wars TV show's cancelation, and one suggests that Keanu Reeves was nearly cast in one of the series' leading roles. The Acolyte already has a star-studded cast, from Carrie-Anne Moss to Lee Jung-jae, but it seems as if another star may have been close to joining this dazzling roster.
12 Shared by The InSneider, Keanu Reeves was reportedly in consideration for the role of Master Sol before it ultimately went to Jung-jae. While Reeves didn't get the chance to star alongside his co-star from The Matrix in this particular Star Wars series, Jeff Sneider goes on to add that Star Wars is reportedly still interested in casting the actor in another project.
I had written this character, and I had no idea who to cast, and I had no idea who was going to be able to play all of these different level. I thought Squid Game and I was like, 'that’s the guy, that’s him . I don’t know how I get in touch with this person, I don’t know if they want to perform in English.' To me, it became so clearly 's part, as opposed to the fact he’s a Korean movie star.
Either way, it's interesting this kind of report is breaking just after The Acolyte's cancelation - and Jung-jae's open criticism of Star Wars' decision to do so. The Acolyte aside, however, there's still plenty of opportunity for Reeves to join another Star Wars project. As stated above, Reeves has long since been a popular fancast for Darth Revan, which means a potential project focused on the Old Republic era could feature him in that role.
