Has there ever been a career renaissance in Hollywood quite like the one Keanu Reeves has enjoyed over recent years? The Matrix and John Wick star has moved into the gaming world, is widely regarded as one of the most beloved and nicest men in show business, and is currently one of the most sought-after actors in cinema.

Reeves is also the writer behind BRZRKR, the comic book that was on the receiving end of over $1.4 million worth of donations through its kickstarter campaign, automatically making it one of the most successful and highest-selling comics of the century.

The protagonist, a half-mortal and half-god who finds himself working for the US government almost as a mercenary for the work too brutal for anyone else, is something of a cross between John Wick and Wolverine. It's not hard to connect Berserker to Keanu Reeves, and fans can look forward to the actor bringing his own creation to the screen in the future.

In 2021, it was reported that a live-action version of the gritty, gory comic will be coming to Netflix with Reeves playing the titular role, and if it's anything like John Wick as promised, fans are in for one hell of a treat.
