If Marvel Studios has its way, Keanu Reeves will be the next star to suit up and enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, studio head Kevin Feige admits that Reeves is Marvel's white whale, revealing they've been pursuing him for some time now.

“We talk to him for almost every film we make,” Feige says, laughing.

“I don’t know when, if, or ever he’ll join the MCU, but we very much want to figure out the right way to do it,” says Feige of the 54-year-old "John Wick" star.

Keanu invades yet another video game courtesy of this Metal Gear Solid 5 mod. The apparent effort to get Keanu Reeves in everything continues with this new Metal Gear Solid 5 mod which replaces Big Boss with two Keanu Reeves characters. This mod, as spotted by PC Gamer, is a work-in-progress alteration of the PC version of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain which lets you play as either John Wick or Johnny Silverhand. Besides both being named John, these two characters are, of course, both played by Hollywood and internet darling, Keanu Reeves.
