Most Star Wars followers are both celebrating (for some bizarre cause) or mourning the loss of life 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, is never too far off the mark in the case of Star Wars, so chances are high conversations between Reeves and Lucasfilm did occur in some unspecified time in the future.
The information got here from Jeff Sneider’s weekly e-newsletter (throughStarWarsNewsNet), the place the pretty reliably scooper acknowledged Reeves was truly fairly within the function that was provided, which was that of Grasp Sol. Ultimately, nevertheless, his schedule didn’t work out as a result of Ballerina commitments and he needed to stroll away from it. As everyone knows, Grasp Sol was lastly performed bySquid Sport star Lee Jung-jae, who delivered one efficiency worthy of all of the reward it obtained.
In fact, this may’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 might 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 chances are high these rumors got here from disjointed chatter and ideas from again when he supposedly sat down to speak with Lucasfilm.
In line with Sneider, there’s nonetheless probability Reeves is perhaps becoming a member of the Star Wars universe sooner moderately 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 as if an ideal match for the One and would promote so many tickets, I feel.
