& DC Studios has revealed that Keanu Reeves will play Deathstroke, also known as Slade Wilson, in the next DC movie. Fans are giddy with excitement for Reeves’ portrayal of the legendary mercenary, which is his first venture into the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

The film, tentatively titled Deathstroke, will explore the origins and evolution of Slade Wilson, one of DC’s most complex and formidable antiheroes. Known for his strategic mind, lethal combat skills, and complex moral code, Deathstroke is often portrayed as a villain, but his story is rich with shades of gray. The movie is expected to delve deep into his past as a soldier, his transformation into a mercenary, and his interactions with other key figures in the DCEU.

Keanu Reeves, who has gained legendary status for his roles in The Matrix and John Wick franchises, is set to bring his unique brand of intensity and charisma to the role. Speaking about his new character, Reeves said, “Slade Wilson is a character with a deep, complicated history. He’s not just a villain; he’s a man who has experienced loss, betrayal, and redemption. I’m excited to explore these layers and bring something new to the role.”
