Keanu Reeves Breaks Silence on NCIS: Los Angeles Casting Rumors: “That’s News to Me!”

After days of wild speculation and viral theories, Keanu Reeves has officially responded to the rumors that he’s in talks to join a potential NCIS: Los Angeles Season 15 or spin-off reboot. The beloved John Wick and Matrix star finally addressed the buzz during a press junket for his upcoming project in Los Angeles.

When asked directly whether he had been approached by CBS for a role in the NCIS franchise, Keanu smiled and replied:

“That’s news to me! I think NCIS is awesome — but no, I haven’t had any conversations like that.”

His comment comes after a wave of fan theories suggested Reeves might take on the role of a former intelligence agent or tech-savvy investigator in a darker, more cinematic reboot of NCIS: LA. The idea gained traction after a TV host hinted at a “world-famous face” being considered behind the scenes — and fans immediately jumped to Keanu as the top candidate.

“It’s flattering, really,” Keanu added. “But I’ve got some things I’m working on, and none of them involve federal agents — at least, not yet.”

Fans React: “Still Holding Out Hope”

Despite the denial, many fans aren’t giving up. “Keanu could bring a totally fresh energy to the NCIS universe,” one user posted on X. Others applauded him for his humility and grace, saying his response only made them want to see it happen even more.

CBS has still not commented on the rumors — a silence that some interpret as keeping doors open for future surprise collaborations.

Is There Still a Chance?

While Reeves made it clear that no official talks have happened, he didn’t completely shut the door. When asked if he would ever consider joining a long-running TV franchise like NCIS, he replied:

“If the story is right and the timing works… who knows? Never say never.”

Final Thoughts

For now, fans will have to let go of the fantasy of Keanu Reeves walking into the NCIS offices with a badge and a mission. But with his global appeal, action chops, and growing interest in varied roles, the idea of Keanu joining the small screen in a high-profile series may only be a matter of time.

Could the next NCIS chapter still be waiting for the perfect moment — and the perfect star? If so, Keanu Reeves might just be one phone call away.
