Keanu Reeves has been sporting his John Wick look for more than a decade, but that has all come to an end as the 59-year-old was recently spotted on the set of his new movie with a dramatic new hairstyle. Having seemingly ended his run as Wick – at least for now – the actor has taken the plunge with a sharp crew-cut that fans have said makes him look just like he did 20 years ago.

Reeves is currently filming the Jonah Hill movie Outcome in California, and as leaked set images began to circulate online, fans shared their opinion on the actor’s new look. While many were happy to see Reeves going for a change-up, there were others that mourned the loss of what has become his signature look in the last several years.
Of course, Reeves can do no wrong when it comes to his fandom, and whatever look he adopts, they are happy to accept it as long as he keeps delivering more movies for them to enjoy. It seems that his new “cleaner” appearance has definitely gone down well, but could also be bad news for those hoping for him to appear in another John Wick movie in the near future.
Will Keanu Reeves Return for John Wick 5?
Many actors like to spread their wings beyond playing the same character over and over, and Reeves has played many different types of role in his long career. However, his appearance in the John Wick movie found him in an action hero niche that has become increasingly popular among both his fans and action movie lovers since the first film was released in 2014.
After four movies, it seemed that Wick had finally met his maker in last year’s John Wick 4, but that hasn’t stopped discussions about a fifth movie being a topic of discussion in every interview Reeves or franchise director Chad Stahelski have been involved in. So far, talk of John Wick 5 has been confined to being something for the future, but Reeves will be seen in the role again in the upcoming spin-off movie, Ballerina.
Ballerina’s Ian McShane Reveals What Delayed the John Wick Spinoff
John Wick star Ian McShane shared what’s happening behind the scenes in Ballerina.
Led by Ana de Armas, Ballerina will delve into another area of the John Wick universe, and will be hoping for a better reception than that of the Peacock miniseries, The Continental, which was even said to be nothing but a “cash-grab” by franchise star Ian McShane. Reeves’ capacity in the new movie has not yet been revealed, and fans still have a while to wait to see the latest addition to the saga, as it was recently pushed back to June 6, 2024.
Outcome
is being made for Apple TV+ and will see Reeves reuniting on screen with Cameron Diaz for the first time in almost 30 years.
