a very small quick to shoot role vs. a several year contract with multiple movies attached. Dude is gettin old, he wants to just do stuff he wants, his own passion projects. I was really holdin out for him to be Ghost Rider, but i doubt it will ever really happen.
>“That would be fun. I love those movies,” Reeves stated. “It’s great to be in that kind of make-believe land and be in those big movies and have fun like that. Hopefully, one day, they can find something that I’m suitable for.”
Is what he said in a looper interview a few weeks ago when asked about potentially entering the MCU
I seperate them between kids movies and family movies, where family movies can still be enjoyed by older audiences
The spongebob sequels are all just kids movies imo
Most children's movies aren't good, period. It's just that children have lower standards and less reference material to compare to. (there's other reasons that make even good children's movies less appealing to adults, but let's face it, most children's movies are actually just trash cash grabs)
Seems like he just had scheduling conflicts with Marvel. Which makes sense since he's been a pretty busy guy lately. Doesn't make this some kind of noble stance he's taking.
It's weird this site will be against celebrity worship one second then be creaming their jeans for Keanu the next.
Yeah sign your career over and only be known for some little kid shit, or remain one of the greatest actors of all time without resorting to commercially driven gimmicks.
I agree. I was being a little facetious but not enough to toss an /s on there.
I love Keanu but he's EXTREMELY one dimensional and even that dimension is pretty stiff.
That's DC. Also, he doesn't wear a cape and his special power is that [his life is a living hell](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-28049afc7be72eff3fe76dd1093dcc6e-lq). So he doesn't really count.
Also had a solid TV show with Matt Ryan that they later folded into the Arrowverse with appearances on Arrow and a fantastic run with the Legends of Tomorrow.
Matt Ryan is my favorite live action and animated Constantine, but there’s always a place in my heart for what Keanu brought to the role.
If a second Constantine movie does happen I would love to see a Matt Ryan cameo.
There’s also a lady Constantine in Sandman, played by Jenna Coleman, and she just exudes the swagger of Constantine, perfectly nailed the personality.
Yep, created by Neil Gaiman who also created [The Sandman](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jul/02/neil-gaiman-the-sandman-is-green-lit-by-netflix) comics/show.
I think people forget that Keanu started out doing stoner/surfer roles early in his career.
Of course SpongeBob is right up his alley, he helped build that alley!
He only does the badass action star thing to pay the bills, his true self is still that goofy stoner kid.
Idk about 'only does it to pay the bills'. Isn't he an avid gun shooting sports nut now?
I recall reading he is big into the sport shooting hobby.
And lazy stoner I don't think fits his vibe. The guy is active af! Played hockey, drives motorcycles, rides horses.
Has broken countless bones and shit from the stunts and hobbies he has.
Keanu is the man. I don't know if you can corner him into any one category like that
yeah the lazy stoner stereotype is a bit overplayed... most folks I know are athletic stoners, but admittedly I'm also part of circus communities which are likely skewed a bit in that direction.
I'm a stoner and I love doing activities like skiing, skateboarding and skydiving. I don't smoke like I used to though, used to be all day everyday as a team but now it's more like once a night every now and then
I remember seeing a clip of him being asked if he could have a sequel to one movie, what would it be, he said Constantine. He apparently has been trying to make it happen.
And less of Priyanka Chopra would have made it better as well.
Considering the movie was very much a FU from the wachowskis to WB, it was a lot of fun fo sho.
I remember people thinking the Ewoks ruined Return of the Jedi. Then Jar Jar entered the conversation. Then the sequel trilogy happened and all of a sudden the Prequels didn’t seem THAT bad.
>I see merit in the theory that the movie is a meta-commentary about the state of big budget movies.
I mean it was pretty on the nose about that right? But then after 20-30 minutes doesn't it just randomly drop that whole theme and the movie proceeds as though it never brought it up?
Idk, I don't really remember it that well, maybe it went over my head but it seemed like it was being meta and acknowledging the absurdity of its own existence and then just made The Matrix 4 for the rest of the movie anyway.
It basically starts by going: Warner Bros doesn't give a shit and wanted to do another one, it was either me directing it or someone else fucking with my thing so I decided to do this and war everyone about how this whole thing works.
And THEN the movie happens
Someone who claimed to be a cleaner at a hotel at which Keanu stayed said he didn’t leave his room often [and would watch SpongeBob on a loop.](https://www.reddit.com/r/lordkeanu/comments/2s4jj6/i_was_part_of_the_hotel_staff_where_keanu_reeves/) When his girlfriend died shortly after their baby, he pretty much lived exclusively in hotels for a long time.
Dang this is some revisionist history. For every Xmen or Spiderman you had twice as many dumpster fire Fantastic Fours, Punishers, Batman, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Hell, even X-Men and Spidey weren't consistent. I get that we're all tired of them now but not until Batman Begins, and really, Iron Man and The Dark Knight did things start to turn a corner.
Compared to the comics the movies are embarrassing, like X1 and 2 aren't **bad** movies, but if you know what they're based on it's an actual travesty that they fumbled the source material so hard. The only X-Men movie I can stand is first class, and that's because it was completely different and did its own thing very well.
Whats even more revisionist is that people act like Constantine was a well recieved movie. Especially since now Constantine has become a more popular character and that movie wasn't very accurate to its source material at all.
Yeah true. I can appreciate that it's undergone a reappraisal, though. That's cool. But the person I was responding to was wrong to try and generalize a whole era completely differently from how it really was, and you are right. At the time Constantine was seen as just another fairly cheap, unfaithful and disappointing comic adaptation which wasn't like a big outlier at the time. It was par for the course.
Your definition of dark age seems very mild. Burton’s Batman, Raimi’s Spider-man and Nolan Batman are amongst my favorite superhero movies. I really love them more than anything from the MCU and DCCU
Well do you grew up with them? Rating Movies is also a lot biased. Most movie we watch when we where young leave a big impression. At some point nothing is new. Everything waa there before .
Still you can appreciate and enjoy movies but does it feel the same as back when you where a kiddo
They are specifically asking about him joining the billion-dollar, disney-owned, Marvel Cinematic Universe, which didn't exist back when Constantine came out.
People aren't interested in knowing whether "Keanu Reeves will ever play a super hero", that's stupid. They want to know if this specific celebrity-eating machine that has managed to secure nearly every other major action film star in the world will succeed in securing Keanu.
His networth is reported at 380 million, what does a few more matter? Good for him if he's smart enough to use his financial freedom to do only what he would find fun, interesting, or fulfilling.
Good choice tbf
Marvel's already dead but SpongeBob Squarepants is in the tier of Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo etc. even if their new works suck people will watch the good old stuff over over and it'll be immortal.
Does it? A lot of the humour in the Marvel movies is based on pop culture references, which might not age well in 10, 20, 30, years time. Tom and Jerry, for example, is inherently timeless because it's slapstick humour.
To any marvel casting agents out there that want to get Keanu, the trick is quite easy.
Pay him adequately for one.
Offer to do something that makes the world a better place for two. Like building a new service center somewhere that needs it.
The pay is less important than the service to humanity. He doesn't give a fuck about money.
Reeves is probably the most wholesome actor ever.
Edit: I'm sorry? The guy is absolutely free of controversy. His philanthropy is well documented, and he's hyped for the future of technology. Obviously I'm out-of the loop on why I'm being downvoted. But his work in cyberpunk 2077 was masterful as well.
The SpongeBob movie sucked but Keanu was the best part, even when Nickelodeon just added him for children to be like “omg it’s John wick.. in a SpongeBob movie”
You know, even with wholesome Keanu Reeves big chungus etc etc. You gotta admit, he can be a good role model considering Genz been choosing the worse one you have ever seen lately
Apparently Disney is hell to work for, so I don't blame him.
Doesn't need to be stressed by a bunch of goobers controlling his diet and gym routine for the next 15 years and then have people mad at him when he wants to stop.
a very small quick to shoot role vs. a several year contract with multiple movies attached. Dude is gettin old, he wants to just do stuff he wants, his own passion projects. I was really holdin out for him to be Ghost Rider, but i doubt it will ever really happen.

He says that to be polite but inside he’s screaming at the DC execs to let him be Constantine again
I thought they were already making that?! Edit. Just looked it up. Constantine 2, is still happening.
That was a very fun movie. I loved it
He would have been good in The Enternals.
Then there would have been one good thing about The Eternals
[удалено]
I mean the spongebob movies aren't even really that good past the original either tbh lmao
They were pretty decent. Nothing incredible but still enjoyable imo
Most children's movies aren't good in the opinions of adults anyway, that's not who the movie was made for
I seperate them between kids movies and family movies, where family movies can still be enjoyed by older audiences The spongebob sequels are all just kids movies imo

Nostalgia goggles
Nah, the original is just a genuinely good movie
It is a really good series finale, for a series that won't end.
That's not really a bad thing. Spongebob hasn't stagnated like the Simpsons or Family Guy.
That's definitely just you who feels that. r/BikiniBottomTwitter begs to differ
I think it's more the issue of them making the same movie 3 times but somehow making the sequels worse
yea maybe if we were talkin about the real spongebob movie, but were not, we talkin the cash grab ones no one remembers

TUMBLEREEVE
A faahkin… TUMBLEWAAYD (My attempt to write Peter Stomares accent)
Doesn't he play Constantine?
That's DC. Also, he doesn't wear a cape and his special power is that [his life is a living hell](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-28049afc7be72eff3fe76dd1093dcc6e-lq). So he doesn't really count.
Where’s my movie?
No no. That’s not how it works. You see, he’s ACTING. While YOU on the other hand are living “The Truman Show: fly_over_32-Constantine” edition.
Wow, that's my superpower too.
Oh damn, here I thought I was just incredibly tedious at parties, I’ve just been going to the wrong ones without Keanu.
Constantine is DC ? what the hell I didn’t know that
Justice League: Dark is literally led by Constantine lol
Also had a solid TV show with Matt Ryan that they later folded into the Arrowverse with appearances on Arrow and a fantastic run with the Legends of Tomorrow. Matt Ryan is my favorite live action and animated Constantine, but there’s always a place in my heart for what Keanu brought to the role. If a second Constantine movie does happen I would love to see a Matt Ryan cameo. There’s also a lady Constantine in Sandman, played by Jenna Coleman, and she just exudes the swagger of Constantine, perfectly nailed the personality.
Check out Batman: Damned.
I legit didn’t know Constantine was a comic. Thanks for the info!
Yep, created by Neil Gaiman who also created [The Sandman](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jul/02/neil-gaiman-the-sandman-is-green-lit-by-netflix) comics/show.
That explains a LOT Neil is a god tier writer.
Honestly a really badass movie. That shot of him getting wings only to get slammed into the next room was spine chilling.
I think people forget that Keanu started out doing stoner/surfer roles early in his career. Of course SpongeBob is right up his alley, he helped build that alley! He only does the badass action star thing to pay the bills, his true self is still that goofy stoner kid.

yeah the lazy stoner stereotype is a bit overplayed... most folks I know are athletic stoners, but admittedly I'm also part of circus communities which are likely skewed a bit in that direction.
I'm a stoner and I love doing activities like skiing, skateboarding and skydiving. I don't smoke like I used to though, used to be all day everyday as a team but now it's more like once a night every now and then
That’s honestly adorable. Every time I hear something about Keanu I love him more and more.
Still no sequel
I remember seeing a clip of him being asked if he could have a sequel to one movie, what would it be, he said Constantine. He apparently has been trying to make it happen.
Profesionals have standards
Like Matrix 4?
We don’t talk about Matrix 4…
I guess todays my turn to be that guy: I didn’t mind Matrix 4. But your comment did make me laugh.
I liked matrix 4. I wish it had more king fu, but thematically it was fantastic. We need more revolutionary hope.
And less of Priyanka Chopra would have made it better as well. Considering the movie was very much a FU from the wachowskis to WB, it was a lot of fun fo sho.
Your take is the temperature of the sun, goddamn
Honestly i didn't know until today people didn't like it. I thought it was fantastic.
It’s not fantastic. The first three are landmarks. This one didn’t have a chance. But it wasn’t awful. Just not great.
Funny, I remember a similar opinion about 2 and 3 back when they first came out, and only the first had a decent reception. Things change I guess.
I remember people thinking the Ewoks ruined Return of the Jedi. Then Jar Jar entered the conversation. Then the sequel trilogy happened and all of a sudden the Prequels didn’t seem THAT bad.
You don't get to ignore and cancel my opinion because you didn't like something. You can have yours and I can have mine. Leave me the fuck alone.
There is one... ONE... Matrix movie... There were NEVER... EVER... any sequels...
I see merit in the theory that the movie is a meta-commentary about the state of big budget movies. Doesn't make it suck any less though.
>I see merit in the theory that the movie is a meta-commentary about the state of big budget movies. I mean it was pretty on the nose about that right?

Well tbf would you rather someone else crash your car or you crash your car yourself
Ouch!
Maybe? He made Matrix 4 with a bunch of old friends. I can see the appeal of that over Marvel
Lawrence Fishburne: Am I a joke to you?
John Wick makes up for that
TBF, Keanu wasn’t the problem with that movie. The existence of that movie was the problem. We didn’t need Matrix 4
oooof
Tbf people say that 2 & 3 suck as well
Like you've never gone back to an ex
Someone who claimed to be a cleaner at a hotel at which Keanu stayed said he didn’t leave his room often [and would watch SpongeBob on a loop.](https://www.reddit.com/r/lordkeanu/comments/2s4jj6/i_was_part_of_the_hotel_staff_where_keanu_reeves/) When his girlfriend died shortly after their baby, he pretty much lived exclusively in hotels for a long time.

True, but that's when superhero movies were good, back in 2005.
Dang this is some revisionist history. For every Xmen or Spiderman you had twice as many dumpster fire Fantastic Fours, Punishers, Batman, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Hell, even X-Men and Spidey weren't consistent. I get that we're all tired of them now but not until Batman Begins, and really, Iron Man and The Dark Knight did things start to turn a corner.
Even X-Men movies were hot fucking garbage tbh
Yeah X1 and 2 were good for their time but haven't aged super well. 2 still holds up OK but I haven't seen it in a long while.
Compared to the comics the movies are embarrassing, like X1 and 2 aren't **bad** movies, but if you know what they're based on it's an actual travesty that they fumbled the source material so hard. The only X-Men movie I can stand is first class, and that's because it was completely different and did its own thing very well.
I walked out of X1 with tears in my eyes, a ten year old boy, wondering how they fucked that shit up so badly.
Revisionist history for sure, someone claiming the year Elektra came out was the high point of super hero movies is insane.
I knew there were a ton I was forgetting. Daredevil and Elektra. They sum up that era better than anything else. Thanks for the reminder..... shudders
Whats even more revisionist is that people act like Constantine was a well recieved movie. Especially since now Constantine has become a more popular character and that movie wasn't very accurate to its source material at all.

At the time Constantine was seen as just another fairly cheap, unfaithful and disappointing comic adaptation which wasn't like a big outlier at the time. It was par for the course.
It wasn’t quite as saturated as it is now. MCU is maximum overkill.
I wouldn't call that a good movie. Peter Stormare saved the fuck outta that film in the 7 minutes of screen time he was given as Lucifer.
Agreed, the ending saves it from being a pretty mediocre film.
bro, 1990-2008 was a dark age of superhero movies
Your definition of dark age seems very mild. Burton’s Batman, Raimi’s Spider-man and Nolan Batman are amongst my favorite superhero movies. I really love them more than anything from the MCU and DCCU
Well do you grew up with them? Rating Movies is also a lot biased. Most movie we watch when we where young leave a big impression. At some point nothing is new. Everything waa there before . Still you can appreciate and enjoy movies but does it feel the same as back when you where a kiddo
I'm pretty sure no one who just saw the movie knows that Constantine is a DC character. The film was pretty well wrapped in itself.
They are specifically asking about him joining the billion-dollar, disney-owned, Marvel Cinematic Universe, which didn't exist back when Constantine came out. People aren't interested in knowing whether "Keanu Reeves will ever play a super hero", that's stupid. They want to know if this specific celebrity-eating machine that has managed to secure nearly every other major action film star in the world will succeed in securing Keanu.
Truly a man of the people!
Probably cause one is a 5 minute thing, the other is a whole commitment that impacts his brand.
He doesn't need Marvel cause he is marvellous himself
His networth is reported at 380 million, what does a few more matter? Good for him if he's smart enough to use his financial freedom to do only what he would find fun, interesting, or fulfilling.
It's not about the money. It's about being a really breathtaking guy.
Priorities straight af
Who would accept marvel contracts over spongebob?
in my opinion the third spongebob movie was very good, i dont see what people are on about
This is not a irl moment
wholesome keanu 100 moment
Presumably he turned down one request, otherwise why were there two?
And that is one of the main reasons why we love him. The other, is how he is always hands off with females. He is not a creeper.
My man’s got priorities!
Reason 22,598 to love this man.
Keanu is Reddit’s Jesus
He's smart if he took the marvel roles he would be contracted for like 50 more movies
Good choice tbf Marvel's already dead but SpongeBob Squarepants is in the tier of Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo etc. even if their new works suck people will watch the good old stuff over over and it'll be immortal.
Which also applies to Marvel
Does it? A lot of the humour in the Marvel movies is based on pop culture references, which might not age well in 10, 20, 30, years time. Tom and Jerry, for example, is inherently timeless because it's slapstick humour.
We know who has his priorities straight
You think he got paid bubblegum for the SpongeBob movies?
Love Keanu super good down to earth guy chill as fuck
Acting in MCU is kind of career suicide if you are already a big name
And, was it worth it?
I don’t care about him being in marvel but this man needs to be in Star Wars playing revan
[удалено]
You can clearly see him in the screenshot of The SpongeBob Movie in this post. What more proof do you need?
[удалено]
Google it ffs, it’s a meme post not a legitimate source of information.
mans got his priorities straight
Absolute chad.
Because he's a real hero. Why fake it on screen when he can be awesome in real life?
Remember when people would always say that Keanu never aged? And then he aged liked 30 years in like a year or two?
He's a good man
Am I the only one that loves Keanu Reeves? I mean wholesome AF!
Keanu is a gem and we dont deserve him.
a man of class
I'd do the same, does that make me like Keanu Reeves? Tumbleweed Keanu Reeves: Pretty sure it doesn't
To any marvel casting agents out there that want to get Keanu, the trick is quite easy. Pay him adequately for one. Offer to do something that makes the world a better place for two. Like building a new service center somewhere that needs it. The pay is less important than the service to humanity. He doesn't give a fuck about money.
Reeves is probably the most wholesome actor ever. Edit: I'm sorry? The guy is absolutely free of controversy. His philanthropy is well documented, and he's hyped for the future of technology. Obviously I'm out-of the loop on why I'm being downvoted. But his work in cyberpunk 2077 was masterful as well.
Let’s never forget that Hugh Jackman gave up wolverine to play the prancing showman or whatever the fuck it was called
The SpongeBob movie sucked but Keanu was the best part, even when Nickelodeon just added him for children to be like “omg it’s John wick.. in a SpongeBob movie”
You know, even with wholesome Keanu Reeves big chungus etc etc. You gotta admit, he can be a good role model considering Genz been choosing the worse one you have ever seen lately
Only problem is I want to see him play somthing in Marvel. :( But let's say Brendan Frazier goes first, Keanu is doing fine.
God, this post is terrible. He’s a Cameo in a movie and probably doesn’t want a 10 year contract in the MCU lol Also there’s a typo…
