Reeves in 2019
In 2019, Reeves starred in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the third film in the series directed by Stahelski. The film takes place immediately after the events of John Wick: Chapter 2 and features new cast members including Halle Berry. The film was another box office hit, grossing $171 million in the United States and more than $155 million internationally.[176] The Globe and Mail’s reviewer gave the film three out of four stars, praising the fight scenes, but felt there was “aesthetic overindulgence” with the cinematography.[177] The Guardian’s Cath Clarke questioned Reeves’s acting; she wrote that “he keeps his face statue-still […] three movies in, franchise bloat is beginning to set in”.[178] Reeves was nominated for Favorite Male Movie Star of 2019 in the People’s Choice Awards, and the film itself was nominated for Best Contemporary Film in the Art Directors Guild Awards.[179][180] Reeves then voiced Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4, the fourth installment of Pixar’s Toy Story franchise.[181] In that same year on April 27 and 28, a film festival was held in his honour, called KeanuCon, hosted in Glasgow, Scotland.[182] Over two days, nine of his films were screened for guests.[183] Also in 2019, Reeves played a supporting role as himself in the Ali Wong-led romantic comedy Always Be My Maybe.[184] In 2019, Reeves travelled to São Paulo to produce a Netflix series, Conquest.[185][186] Footage shot for the project would remain in development hell for years due to creator Carl Rinsch’s erratic behaviour and mental health state, which caused him to miss several deadlines and enter litigation with Netflix over the rights to the series.[187]
