Keanu Reeves suits up as Moon Knight for the MCU in this incredible new image that imagines the future of Marvel’s cinematic franchise.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently confirmed the studio has had conversations with Keanu Reeves for almost every superhero film they’ve made but Marvel has yet to figure out the right role for the actor. Given the internet’s recent obsession with Keanu Reeves, it should come as no great surprise that digital artists have been imagining the John Wick star as plenty of different Marvel characters including Namor the Submariner, and even Wolverine. The latest image, which comes from popular artist BossLogic, imagines Keanu Reeves as the MCU’s version of Moon Knight.

In the comics, Marc Spector, a.k.a. Moon Knight, was a CIA agent turned mercenary where he made millions. His wealth from being a mercenary and investments land him anywhere between $50 million to $3 billion in net worth, granting him a suave Bruce Wayne-style life. Yet during his last mercenary job in Cairo, Spector was left for dead by a former colleague.
Spector dragged himself through the sands of the desert to the tomb of Konshu, the Egyptian moon god. There he was pronounced dead but resurrected at the hands of Konshu. The resurrection took a toll, however, as he developed multiple personality disorder. When he returned to New York, he created two new personalities, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. Grant was the millionaire womanizer, while Lockley was a cab driver.
It was after developing his other personalities when he took on the mantle of Moon Knight. Konshu granted Spector with increased physical capabilities and periodic prophetic visions at night; yet even Spector himself was unsure whether Konshu was yet another personality of his own creation. Even still, Moon Knight operates with an arsenal of technology, vehicles and costumes to suit his needs.
