Is Keanu Reeves in Star Wars: The Acolyte? ›

So, for now, Keanu Reeves is not in The Acolyte, although it's possible that the Hollywood icon did indeed shoot a cameo that Lucasfilm is keeping under wraps.

If Reeves does make an appearance, it will likely be brief. But again, there is zero confirmation he's in the series. The rumor likely started because of Reeves' The Matrix co-star Carrie-Anne Moss. Moss will play Jedi Master Indara, and the teaser trailer shows her wielding a lightsaber.

In a recent interview, Culpepper addressed Yoda's surprise cameo in The Acolyte season 1 finale revealing that showrunner Leslye Headland had to fight to include him in the episode.

According to TheDirect.com, Darth Revan, a Jedi-turned-Sith, will make his debut appearance in the upcoming Star Wars: The Acolyte series, which Leslie Headland is currently developing for Disney+.

Although The Acolyte doesn't change the events that unfold in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and the rest of the Skywalker saga — with the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Order, and the start of the Empire led by Darth Vader — it elegantly hints at the future collapse by focusing on individual failures that ...

Darth Plagueis Is The Acolyte's True Sith Lord

Despite being featured only briefly and largely in the shadows, some key distinguishing features help identify this new Sith Lord as none other than Darth Plagueis himself.

Despite facing several issues throughout its run, two massive cameos somewhat redeemed the show. During the final episode, a dark and shadowy figure can be seen watching Osha and Qimir from a cave. Given the timeline and the species, fans quickly deduced that Leslye Headland included Darth Plagueis in 'The Acolyte.'

Revan is an ancient Jedi who is the ancestor of the Skywalker family.

As the playable character of the game, Revan's physical characteristics and gender were customizable by the player for gameplay purposes; the 2005 reference book The New Essential Chronology then established Revan's gender as male and canonized the light-side ending.

Darth Plagueis, who is mentioned by Palpatine in a much-memed speech in the prequel trilogy, is said to have uncovered deep, dark secrets within the Force, and sought mastery over life and death. Plagueis appears briefly in The Acolyte finale, and is thought to be the Master of Qimir (Manny Jacinto).

How bad is The Acolyte? ›

Fast-forward twelve years later, Disney has turned the franchise set in a galaxy far, far away into an utter joke. To put it mildly, The Acolyte is the worst Star Wars series to premiere on Disney+ since the streaming service launched in 2019.

But “The Acolyte” achieves balance in the (cameo) force by tucking in a true IYKYK glimpse of a legendary dark lord, too. “Plagueis was always in the finale, in every version,” creator Leslye Headland told IndieWire on an upcoming episode of the Filmmaker Toolkit podcast.

In its leak on PSN, the initial description said it was "Created by members of the original movie team including Lana Wachowski along with Epic Games and partners, [and] is a wild ride into the reality-bending universe of 'The Matrix' that features performances by Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss."

Yet the success of the franchise has resulted in Lionsgate announcing that John Wick 5 is happening. While nothing about the sequel has been revealed yet, its title indicates Reeves would be expected to come back as John for another action-packed thriller.
