Keanu Reeves with Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt in the same film? It would be a dream come true for fans of these stars and general moviegoers alike. In fact, it almost happened in a recently released movie, but this reunion had to be scrapped because the director couldn’t get Reeves.
Right now,The Matrixstar is seemingly busy with theJohn Wickfranchise. The latest film in the franchise grossed $428 million worldwide and was recently greenlit for another sequel. However, even though theBullet Traindirector, David Leitch, had worked with Reeves on theJohn Wickfranchise, he still couldn’t get Reeves to star in his film.

In the film, Ladybug often talks to Barry, but audiences never see the therapist. If Reeves had agreed to star in the film, viewers would probably have seen him. But the director isn’t losing hope. He thinks Reeves can appear inBullet Train 2. He said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly,“My dream cast was Keanu. Wouldn’t it have been great? Hey, Bullet Train 2!”This wouldn’t be Leitch’s first collaboration with theSpeedstar.
TheBullet Traindirector had an uncredited role inJohn Wick 1.But that’s not all. The stuntman-turned-director actually worked with Reeves onThe Matrix ReloadedandThe Matrix Revolutions. But Leitch wasn’t the only one theConstantinestar would have reunited with on the film if he had accepted the offer.
