As revealed by Deadline on January 3, 2022, Keanu Reeves is reportedly in the process of joining "The Devil in the White City." At the time of this writing, he hasn't signed the dotted line to do so, nor do we have any idea how he would factor into the Hulu adaptation of author Erik Larson's 2003 book. Nevertheless, should he ultimately elect to add his name to the cast, not only would this be Reeves' first major TV role in the United States, but it would be a major grab for the project considering the hot-streak he's been on as of late.
Following a stellar 2019 that saw him take part in productions like "Toy Story 4" and "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum," Keanu Reeves had a better 2020 than most. Aside from being the face of the "Cyberpunk 2077" video game, he returned to his cinematic roots with fellow actor Alex Winter for "Bill & Ted Face the Music" and made a minor cameo in "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run." This led him to a rather lean 2021, but his return as Neo for "The Matrix Resurrections" certainly kept him in the headlines throughout the year.
"The Devil in the White City" continues to sit in the pre-production stage, with no official release date to be found. We can only hope that if Keanu Reeves attaches himself to the project that it'll help get the ball rolling once again.
