by

As someone who has grown up watching Keanu Reeves grace our screens with his unparalleled acting skills and impeccable action sequences, I must admit that his foray into different genres and roles is always a delight to witness. While movies like “Replicas” may not have been everyone’s cup of tea (with its 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes being a testament to that), it still offers an intriguing glimpse into the versatility of this talented actor.

Beloved actor is known for some of the best movies in both the sci-fi and action genres, including the likes of The Matrix, and the John Wick franchise. But sometimes even the most breathtaking A-listers suffer a misfire. Reeves’ 2018 sci-fi thriller Replicas is one such example, with the actor leading this largely panned science fiction thriller about a desperate scientist who tries to resurrect his family following a terrible accident. And it’s now streaming for free.

Under the direction of Jeffrey Nachmanoff, who will soon be directing for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Disney+ series “Daredevil: Born Again,” and written by Chad St. John from a story by Stephen Hamel, the movie “Replicas” features Alice Eve, Thomas Middleditch, and John Ortiz in the lead roles. If you’re looking for a free streaming option, “Replicas” is now available on various platforms. Despite its 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it might be worth revisiting this sci-fi thriller to see Reeves portray a character quite distinct from the action hero we’re familiar with. Here’s a brief summary of “Replicas” for your perusal.

Scientist William Foster is about to digitize human consciousness into a computer, but tragedy strikes when his wife and children die in a car accident. Overwhelmed by grief, Foster enlists the aid of another scientist to secretly clone their physical forms and create replicas. However, Foster discovers that he can only replicate three out of four family members, leading him to make a choice with grave implications.

Keanu Reeves Has Several Exciting Projects in Pipeline, Including a John Wick Return

In simpler terms, after largely concluding the John Wick series, Keanu Reeves is busy with numerous upcoming projects, showcasing him in diverse roles. For instance, in the movie “Replicas”, he steps out of his typical character. He will also demonstrate his comedy skills in “Good Fortune”, where he plays an awkward guardian angel assisting Aziz Ansari, who is not only acting but also directing the film. All in all, this new role seems perfectly suited for Reeves as he navigates his post-John Wick career.

In a departure from his usual jovial roles, Keanu Reeves is set to delve into darker humor as he takes on the lead in Jonah Hill’s upcoming black comedy titled “Outcome”. As the star of “Bill & Ted”, Keanu will portray Hollywood actor Reef Hawk, a character who grapples with past regrets after being blackmailed by an enigmatic figure who possesses a damaging video recording.

Keanu Reeves, who played John Wick, will make a brief appearance in the upcoming spin-off film titled “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina.” Directed by Len Wiseman, this movie is set during the events of “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” and focuses on Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), a young assassin seeking revenge. The film, which hits theaters on June 6, 2025, follows her journey. In the meantime, audiences can catch Keanu Reeves in “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” where he will lend his voice to the beloved character, Shadow. This animated adventure is slated for release by Paramount Pictures on December 20, 2024.
