After his recent reprisal of the role in The Matrix Resurrections, it is safe to say that fans have not lost any of their admiration for his iconic character.
For those who love Hugh Jackman’s definitive portrayal of the character, it might be strange to imagine Reeves in Wolverine’s shoes. Now, he is set to star as the eponymous character in the upcoming instalments of the series. Despite the fact that Reeves is already a part of such popular franchises, fans are always looking for more.
From great performances in Speed and The Matrix to less-great work in Much Ado About Nothing, these are Keanu Reeves' 10 most iconic roles.
This list celebrates just one of those early clunkers, because part of what makes Reeves iconic is the early lack of quality control.

Reeves was among the ensemble cast of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a gothic horror film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Duke Caboom thinks he is letting his owner down by not being able to perform the stunts shown in the toy’s advertisement. He will return as hitman John Wick in the fourth instalment of the film series next March.
It's Keanu Reeves birthday and what better way to celebrate it than by watching some of his classic movies.
[John Wick](https://fangirlish.com/tag/john-wick/) redefined Reeves and introduced him to a whole new generation of fans. And to this day, people refer to this movie in TV, movies, and books.

And while Reeves was already known in the movie industry, this was also the movie that shot him to stardom and made him a household name.
