Heard the news today that #keanureeves would rather play #wolverine over #batman so I did a quick piece. Becuase he is one of my favourite people in the world I may just do a few versions. @thehughjackman needs to give his blessings first PS ( @tomhardy was the biggest missed opportunity)

Hugh Jackman has stated that he wants to leave the Wolverine franchise because he has so many other great options like The Greatest Showman and, like, um, hm, hanging out with his smoking hot wife? It turns out Keanu Reeves has been playing the long con – waiting in the wings for the perfect opportunity to take on a tired old beat-to-death comic book character at the same time that he himself is tired and old. Sneaky sneaky! The fifty-four-year-old Reeves recently sat down with Screen Geek, and when prompted him with:

A few years ago you were asked you if you’d do a comic book film. You said you wanted to do Wolverine but you couldn’t take it. You wanted to do Batman, but you couldn’t take it,” the interviewer said. “Now those positions are opening up…

Reeves responded:

Of the two, I’d love to play Wolverine.

This slight declaration was enough to send the absolute darkest and most deplorable corner of the Dark Web – comic book nerd sites – into a tizzy. To the point that someone took the time to imagine what Reeves would look like as a hairy beast smoking a small cigar. Of course this will all have to go down after Reeves finishes John Wick 3: I’ve Fallen And I Can’t Get Up. Well this was a thrill ride of a post. I regret the entire thing tbh. Anyway have a great Christmas Eve assholes.
