Anderson once again as he reprises the role for <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/the-matrix-4-release-date-cast\/&quot;\">The Matrix Resurrections<\/a> this December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">However, the actor has his eye on another successful movie series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Speaking in an interview with <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/entertainment\/movies\/a38323600\/keanu-reeves-marvel-cinematic-universe-winona-ryder-interview\/&quot;\">Esquire<\/a> in response to questioning about rumours of him joining the franchise, Keanu revealed he would be very keen on being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Keanu commented: \u201cIsn\u2019t it bigger than a universe? It\u2019s almost like a multiverse\u2026 It\u2019s a Marvel-verse. It would be an honour.<span class=\"&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">\u201cThere\u2019s some really amazing directors, and visionaries, and they\u2019re doing something no one\u2019s ever really done.<span class=\"&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">\u201cIt\u2019s special in that sense in terms of the scale, the ambition, the production. So it\u2019d be cool to be a part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Naturally, fans will no doubt be speculating which role Keanu Reeves would best fit, but we shall leave that to the fans.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, you can check out how to watch all of the existing <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/marvel-movies-order\/&quot;\">Marvel Cinematic Universe films in order.<\/a><\/p> <p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Until then, we will see him next in the next outing of the Matrix film series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Set 20 years after the events of The Matrix Revolutions, Thomas A. Anderson lives a normal existence in the Matrix but is prescribed blue pills by his therapist (Neil Patrick Harris).<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Anderson is also reunited with Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) but neither appear to recognise each other despite their love story in the first three films.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Once again, a meeting with Morpheus (now played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) will change everything.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source
