Marvel Studios’ head honcho Kevin Feige has revealed the studio keeps in touch with Keanu Reeves and has often tried to get the actor on board one of their projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Feige's comments come after reports emerged that Keanu, 54, may be a part of the cast of The Eternals, whose production Marvel Studios hopes to kickstart in the coming months.
The studio head said though he could not say when and if the John Wick star will join the MCU but the company is keen to collaborate with him.
Asked whether he had ever considered casting Reeves in a Marvel film, Feige told comicbook.com that they try to "talk to him for almost every film we make."
“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,”Kevin Feige
Over the years, low-profile Keanu keeps resurfacing as a viral Internet sensation. His latest John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is a hit and his self-satirising cameo in Always Be My Maybe is one of the most entertaining moments in Netflix's rom-com.
Keanu is also part of the voice cast of Toy Story 4, which is slated to be released on Friday 21 June.
