Most Star Wars fans are either celebrating (for some weird reason) or mourning the death of The Acolyte at Disney Plus earlier this month. Of course, this has prompted even more conversations about the show from the people who made it and those in the know, and now we’ve learned that Keanu Reeves could’ve been part of it.
We must take this shocking reveal with a grain of salt, as it’s nothing but a rumor as of now (and it’s unlikely we’ll get a confirmation now that the show is cancelled), but Jeff Sneider, a renowned Hollywood insider, is rarely too far off the mark when it comes to Star Wars, so chances are conversations between Reeves and Lucasfilm did happen at some point.
The news came from Jeff Sneider’s weekly newsletter (viaStarWarsNewsNet), where the fairly reliably scooper stated Reeves was actually quite interested in the role that was offered, which was that of Master Sol. Eventually, however, his schedule didn’t work out due to Ballerina commitments and he had to walk away from it. As we all know, Master Sol was finally played bySquid Game star Lee Jung-jae, who delivered one performance worthy of all the praise it received.
