Keanu Reeves has become one of the most celebrated franchise actors working today. He rose to prominence with the 1999 film The Matrix, which went on to become an entire series. His role as Neo remains one of the most celebrated parts of his career to date, as moments from the sci-fi film have become iconic elements in film. Fast forward 15 years and Reeves made a name for himself once again playing the eponymous hit man in the John Wick series. The Chad Stahelski series has become key in Reeves’ career, and he will reprise his role in Ballerina.
In addition to his action franchises, Reeves has also spent time working with award-winning directors. This includes a role in Point Break, which was one of the earlier works by Kathryn Bigelow. Bigelow would go on to win an Oscar for her work directing The Hurt Locker, becoming the first woman to win the award. Reeves’ other work with big-named directors includes Parenthood, wherein he worked with Ron Howard. The actor is about to work with another Oscar-nominated director, and the filming for this project will start soon.
