Keanu Reeves has been involved in many franchises and roles. You would think that he would be content with his filmography. He has The Matrix, John Wick, and Ted series. I'm sure he will be proud to sing his praises for Parenthood. Keanu, however, revealed his one-off role during a Reddit Ask Me Anything. It was a surprise to me. Keanu didn't answer the question if he regretted any of his roles or career choices.

I'm sure he will be proud to sing his praises for Parenthood. Keanu, however, revealed his one-off role during a Reddit Ask Me Anything. It was a surprise to me. Keanu didn't answer the question if he regretted any of his roles or career choices. He said that he didn't regret anything, but that he wanted to be the Wolverine, a strong Canadian X-Man, as Hugh Jackman had brought to life. Keanu Reeves shared his regrets about his career during a Reddit AMA. The John Wick actor, 58, was asked if regrets over not accepting any roles in the past. Although he declined to say yes, he revealed a dream role as a comic book hero. Keanu said that he had always wanted to play Wolverine. [From Just Jared] This breaks my heart a little. Keanu was considered seriously for Wolverine role before Hugh was even suggested. Many people were considered for possible Wolverines. The studio heads preferred only a handful of people. Keanu, Aaron Eckhart and Viggo Mortensen were just a few of the many. Keanu was hot and fresh from The Matrix. It was ultimately against him because they were afraid that comic book fans would not be able see beyond him as Neo. Doughary Scott was offered the role, but he had to leave. It is possible that he wouldn't have got John Wick if he had gotten Logan. Keanu from John Wick is a character I love so this worked out as it should. It also gave us Hugh/Ryan Reynolds the bromance. Ryan, a fellow Canadian, can probably find a part in the next Deadpool with Wolverine. This would be a beautiful film.
