Keanu Reeves Shocks Hollywood: New Blockbuster Role Revealed—Release Date, Plot Details & Fan Reactions Inside

Fans of Keanu Reeves are celebrating a double dose of good news this month: the actor’s beloved “John Wick” Rolex watch is safely back on his wrist, and new behind-the-scenes footage proves he kept filming his latest comedy “Good Fortune” even after fracturing his kneecap. Reeves, 61, penned a handwritten thank-you letter after an FBI-led operation with Chilean police recovered six luxury timepieces stolen from his Los Angeles home in 2023—including the Submariner worn on the “John Wick” set and engraved for him. Investigators traced a South American theft ring that had been shipping high-end loot out of the U.S.; the watches, worth about $125,000, were returned to Reeves in August during a meeting in New York. The heartfelt note praised “effort, dedication, professionalism and cross-border cooperation” between the FBI, LAPD and Chile’s Policía de Investigaciones. While the star was quietly recovering his property, he was also nursing a painful on-set injury. A new featurette released for the digital debut of “Good Fortune” shows Reeves salsa-dancing opposite director-costar Aziz Ansari even after cracking his kneecap when he tripped in his trailer. “He just pushed through the pain and shot everything,” Ansari recalls, marveling that the stunt-savvy actor’s first major injury happened on a lighthearted comedy rather than an action epic. “Good Fortune,” dropping on Apple TV and other digital platforms November 7, casts Reeves as Gabriel, a well-meaning but bungling angel who swaps a gig worker’s life with that of a venture capitalist, sparking celestial chaos. The film reunites Reeves with Seth Rogen and pairs him with Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer, adding another genre to a résumé that already spans cyberpunk classics and gun-fu blockbusters. The recovered Rolex and the viral dance-through-injury clip highlight why Reeves remains a trending icon: his mix of bulletproof action credibility and genuine humility. Cyber sleuths are already speculating whether the Rolex return signals fresh momentum for a potential “John Wick 5” after studio comments left the door “wide open” for another chapter. For now, fans can watch their favorite “breathtaking” actor groove through pain in “Good Fortune” while knowing his most sentimental timepiece has come full circle—proof that, in Keanu’s universe, karma moves as precisely as a Swiss watch.
