Keanu Reeves Was Set to Star in CAPTAIN MARVEL Before JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 Came Along

Well, it looks like Keanu Reeves actually almost made it into a Marvel movie! He was set to star Captain Marvel, and then when John Wick: Chapter 3 get the greenlight he ended up dropping out. He would have taken on the role Jude Law’s Kree commander Yon-Rogg.

If not for John Wick 3, he'd have been Yon-Rogg. He was set to take the role and then, when he had to drop out, they moved SUPER QUICK on Jude Law. https://t.co/n73WZML7li

Well, hopefully one day Marvel will find another role for him! I would love to see Reeves in a Marvel movie, and I could totally see him in the role that Law is playing. I’m kinda bummed out that things didn’t work with Reeves, but hey, at least it was for a good cause and we are getting John Wick: Chapter 3!

Would you have liked to see Reeves in Captain Marvel?
