If you recall, Keanu Reeves was first in talks to join the Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw but that didn’t pan out.

Now, we are hearing that Keanu Reeves may still be joining the Fast & Furious franchise, but instead of Hobbs & Shaw, Reeves may be joining the Fast & Furious 9 cast, according to writer Chris Morgan. Read on for more about Keanu Reeves Fast & Furious possibilities…

CelebNMovies247.com is hearing that longtime franchise writer Chris Morgan says he’s had discussions with Keanu Reeves about bringing him into the series.

With the new reveal that Cardi B and Ozuna have joined the cast of FF9, the leaves one question, will Keanu Reeves be joining too?

Previously, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson revealed Keanu Reeves nearly had a role in the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw, but while that opportunity didn’t work out, Morgan remains hopeful they’ll eventually be able to include the John Wick actor into the franchise in some capacity.

Speaking in a new interview, Morgan reveals he’s had talks with Keanu Reeves pertaining to his potential involvement in the Fast & Furious series, and all they seem to be waiting on are the right idea for his character along with an open schedule.

Morgan explains:

I sat down with him and we’re talking about. I wanted him to be in the Fast universe for a very long time. We’re just trying to find… the hardest thing is always time and competing schedules and then designing the right thing together. My fervent desire is to bring him into this franchise for sure.

Why Reeves Didn’t Join Hobbs & Shaw:

While Hobbs & Shaw was in development, Johnson said that early on there were plans for Reeves to play the mysterious director of the techno-terrorist organization Eteon in Hobbs & Shaw. The idea was for the character to have a much bigger presence in the movie, but as Johnson explains, this particular idea “just didn’t feel right creatively” for Reeves. The decision was then made to keep the character off-screen, only speaking out as a faceless voice with his or her identity remaining a total mystery, according to MovieWeb who dropped the news fist.

Reeves rumored presence in Hobbs & Shaw may have not worked out, but there has already been speculation going around that Reeves could appear in a surprise cameo appearance for Fast & Furious 9 when it is released next year.

This could be a set up for the 2021 film which will come out a year later. It could also be a crossover character that can spill back into the Hobbs & Shaw franchise as well. We will see what works out since Keanu Reeves will be heading back to film another John Wick movie.

There are plans of 10 John Wick movies, but only if the movies continue to be a box office draw. A while back during the promotion of John Wick 3, it was revealed by Reeves who is willing to continue the role.
