Warner Bros. and DC Studios have announced that Keanu Reeves will take on the role of Slade Wilson, better known as Deathstroke, in the upcoming DC film. This marks Reeves’ first foray into the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), and fans are already buzzing with anticipation for the beloved actor’s portrayal of the iconic mercenary.

The film, tentatively titled Deathstroke, will explore the origins and evolution of Slade Wilson, one of DC’s most complex and formidable antiheroes. Known for his strategic mind, lethal combat skills, and complex moral code, Deathstroke is often portrayed as a villain, but his story is rich with shades of gray. The movie is expected to delve deep into his past as a soldier, his transformation into a mercenary, and his interactions with other key figures in the DCEU.
