Keanu Reeves has no shortage of iconic characters under his belt, from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:John Wick to The Matrix's Neo. But one role he's never played is a Marvel superhero, despite b🎃eing a self-described comic book nerd. 

When asked which comic book character his 10-year-old self would'ꦚve liked to play on , Reeves gave the question some thought before responding: "I think he’d probably want to be Ghost Ride🐓r."

Ghost Rider, AKA Johnny Blaze, is a stunt motorcyclist who gives up his soul to the demon Mephisto in order to save his father's life. This means that at night and when he's around evil, his flesh 💟is consumed by hellfire and his head becomes a flaming skull.

The character first appeared in Marvel comics in 1972. A live-action movie was made in 2007, starring Nicolas Cage as the title character, with a sequel, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance following in 2012. Another incarnation of Ghost Rider, Robbie Reyes, who first appeare♋d in the comics in 2014, was played by Gabriel Luna in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4.

Reeves is also now the author of his own comic book series, Brzrkr, about ꦍan immortal warrior who fights his way through the ages. The series' second volume was published in September 2022.

Reeves can next be seen in John Wick 4, which arrives on the big screen on March 24, 2023. In the meantime, check out your guide to the rest of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates coming our way, this year and beyond.
