Actor Keanu Reeves has headlined his share of blockbuster franchises in his almost forty-year career. The actor who started out with comic roles and supporting parts is now one of the biggest action stars in the world due to his legendary skills and the scripts he chooses. He has been the face of great action franchises like The Matrix and John Wick.

While the actor is yet to join one of the superhero universes now that the genre is at its peak, Reeves has already portrayed DC’s John Constantine in the supernatural fantasy film Constantine. Though the film did not fare well at the box office upon release and was met with mixed reviews, it has since gained a cult following.

Now, a new fan art by the artist ‘mjihblenart’ sees Keanu Reeves imagined in the look of the DC superhero Green Lantern. The artwork shows donning the green suit along with the Green Lantern ring which houses the suit in a neon green background. He is also seen holding two machine guns while the bottom half of him is blended into the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps.

The artwork also sees him in his John Wick look, with long hair and a beard. He has an intense look on his face and the background is filled with ammunitions. The caption of the post reads, ‘He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheet f****** will’, which is a line in the John Wick franchise.

Green Lantern In Film And Other Media

Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern

While Keanu Reeves has not officially been cast as the protector in the DC Universe, the Green Lantern has been adapted quite a few times in other media. Animated depictions of the character have been seen in the Justice League series and WB’s DCAU films. The first live-action adaptation of the superhero came with 2011’s Green Lantern.

The Martin Campbell directorial starred Ryan Reynolds, before his stint as Deadpool, in the lead role, playing the Hal Jordan version of the Green Lantern. The film also starred Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, and Mark Strong. The film was one of the biggest box office bombs in history, earning only $220 million against a $200 million budget.

The film was heavily criticized for its visual effects, tone, and writing. The film was intended to be a set-up for a shared cinematic universe. However, due to its failure, WB chose to start the cinematic universe with the Henry Cavill starrer Man of Steel. Ryan Reynolds himself took a dig at the film in Deadpool 2.

Green Lantern was supposed to make his DCU debut in the film Zack Snyder’s Justice League. But the plans to introduce the character changed and Snyder chose to go with a version of Martian Manhunter instead. James Gunn’s new and improved DCU is all set to introduce the Green Lantern Corps in the HBO Max series Lanterns.
