If there is any actor who has almost no detractors, we are sure that a large percentage of people would say Keanu ReevesThe Canadian is one of the people who is most liked by the public thanks to his actions and seeing him in great films is always a joy for viewers.

Well, it seems that the actor was very close to landing in a franchise that has received all kinds of criticism in recent years: Star Wars. According to the renowned journalist Jeff SneiderLucasfilm was close to casting Reeves to play Jedi Master Sol in The Acolyte.

However, there was a big problem. Although both the actor and the producer were happy with the participation, Reeves had to reject the role due to scheduling conflicts, as he apparently had to participate in another project that coincided with the filming of the series directed by Leslye Headland.

Although this collaboration did not materialize, Lucasfilm has not lost interest. According to Sneider, the company aims to include Reeves in some major project in the franchise in the short term, so it is likely that sooner or later we will see the Canadian actor participate in some film or series in the Star Wars universe.
