MCU Phase 4: 10 Marvel Characters Keanu Reeves Is Most Likely To Play

Beta Ray Bill is a hugely popular Marvel character, and was originally set for an appearance in Ragnarok. However, Kevin Feige thought the appearance was too brief, saying "the feeling was if you can’t do it justice, do it later."

With Endgame teasing the arrival of the Asgardians of the Galaxy, later might not actually be that far away.

The character may need some motion capture to be fully brought to the big screen, just as Groot, Rocket and Hulk do. For Groot and Rocket, big stars Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper only lend their voice rather than their physicality, which could be an option for Reeves given his recent success in Toy Story 4.

Then again, Mark Ruffalo provides both the voice and motion capture for Hulk, and with Professor Hulk will be doing a lot more in the future too. Keanu Reeves has done some mo-cap work for Cyberpunk 2077, so might be willing to do some more here too.

Either way, it seems inevitable that Beta Ray Bill will arrive in the MCU soon, and the timing might be perfect for Keanu Reeves to step into the role.
