Keanu Reeves Speed Decision Cost Him Millions of Dollars – Showbiz Cheat Sheet
The filmography of Keanu Reeves is so vast, it might have slipped some people’s minds he never did appear in the sequel to Speed. Perhaps this is forgotten since Reeves has agreed to appear in numerous sequels since then.
All the Matrix films are obvious, as is the John Wick franchise. Also, Bill and Ted 3 is on the way.
Back when Speed came out, though, Reeves was still relatively early in his career. No doubt he realized making sequels was a risky maneuver when so many bad ones had already been made by then. Also, Speed seemed like catching rare lightning in a bottle. No wonder he refused to appear in the follow-up.
