Keanu Reeves is a perfect fit for his childhood dream Marvel role in dark Marvel Cinematic Universe art. Reeves is one of the actors who are constantly fancast for superhero roles. The star sees no problem in that, as he has already played John Constantine for DC — with Constantine 2 on the way — and has had talks with Marvel Studios that could have him appear in future Marvel movies. That could lead to Reeves getting his dream Marvel role, and MCU art shows how perfect he would be for it.
On Instagram, artist @addu_art showed how Reeves would be a perfect fit in tone for Ghost Rider in the MCU.
Reeves has previously revealed that the one character his childhood self would probably have dreamed of playing was Ghost Rider. The character has yet to debut in the MCU. Given Reeves would love to play him — and looks like a great match for Ghost Rider, as presented in the MCU art — Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige could have one of the best MCU movies waiting around if Reeves gets his shot at the role.
Why Keanu Reeves’ Ghost Rider Dreams Could Come True Soon
The MCU Is Changing
There are a few reasons that make Ghost Rider’s MCU debut look the closest it has ever been, which could lead to Reeves’ casting as his childhood dream hero. Recently, rumors have begun to mount that Ghost Rider could soon be getting a solo project in the MCU. As Marvel Studios has two major dates to possibly announce a project for the character, either in July’s San Diego Comic-Con or August’s D23, there is a chance that Ghost Rider’s MCU debut could be confirmed in just a couple of months.
The rumored project would make sense in the current MCU. With the 2022 release of the Werewolf by Night Special Presentation on Disney+, Marvel started to really delve into its supernatural characters. With projects for magic-related characters and supernatural beings on the way, such as Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha All Along series and Mahershala Ali’s Blade movie, the MCU is crafting its own supernatural corner. That could lead to more characters like Ghost Rider, Nico Minoru, Mephisto, Dracula, and more coming to the MCU.
In one of Eternals’ post-credits scenes, Ali’s Blade could be heard talking to Kit Harington’s Dane Whitman. That moment and the surge in supernatural projects and characters in the MCU could lead to the debut of the Midnight Sons. The team is Marvel Comics’ premiere squad for supernatural threats. A big name like Reeves for Ghost Rider would be perfect for a Midnight Sons movie. With the Multiverse Saga still going for a few more years, Keanu Reeves could also get to play Ghost Rider as a multiverse variant in a future movie, making his childhood dream come true.
