- Severance followers are satisfied that Keanu Reeves seems in season 2 episode 1
- The Matrix, John Wick, and Sonic 3 star appears to voice an animated character within the present
- Apple is not commenting on whether or not Reeves has an uncredited position in its hit TV Original
Severance season 2 has lastly arrived and, whereas there’s loads to debate after its Apple TV Plus debut, followers have one huge query that episode 1’s launch: does Keanu Reeves make a cameo?
Yes, you learn that proper. Severance followers, myself included, are satisfied that Reeves makes an uncredited look in season 2 episode 1, aka ‘Hello, Ms. Cobel’. He does not seem within the flesh, nor does his identify seem within the highly-rated Apple present’s finish credit, so it is exhausting to inform if The Matrix and John Wick actor is definitely a part of proceedings.
So, the place and the way does Reeves apparently present up? Full spoilers instantly observe for Severance‘s season 2 premiere, so flip again now if you have not seen it but.
If you’ve got watched ‘Hello, Ms. Cobel’, you may have heard a really acquainted voice about halfway via Severance‘s newest episode. Indeed, it appears Reeves’ distinctively calming voice may be heard when the Macrodata Refinement (MDR) workforce sit down to look at the animated ‘Lumon is Listening’ video that Lumon Industries has ready for them.
During this felt puppet animated broadcast, an anthropomorphic model of Lumon’s constructing discusses the modifications that the sinister biotech megacorporation has made as a part of ‘Severance Reform’. That’s the implementation of a brand new program that seemingly places the wellbeing of Lumon’s severed workers above the whole lot else, for these questioning. It’s at this level in among the finest Apple TV Plus reveals’ latest episodes that Reeves supposedly seems. Indeed, it appears he is the voice of the animated Lumon constructing and, as I mentioned, many people would acknowledge his voice wherever.
So, is that this actually Reeves? Right now, I can not affirm whether it is. Many of my fellow viewers assume that is the case, although, with a number of feedback in varied season 2 premiere threads on the r/tv, r/severance, and r/appletvplus Reddit pages all saying the identical factor – i.e. that it must be Reeves as a result of, nicely, no one else feels like him.
There is some precise proof that it is likely to be Reeves. Earlier at the moment (January 17), Collider revealed an article, which carried quotes from creator Dan Erickson, that seems to verify that Reeves was requested to voice the Lumon constructing in season 2’s first episode.
Here’s what Erickson mentioned when Collider requested if Reeves performs the aforementioned character: “All I can say is that we talked about a few totally different folks for that position. We all the time needed it to be any person that folks have sure associations with, but in addition, it needed to be a really heat presence. The Lumon constructing could be very pleasant within the context of this video, and there’s a friendliness to that individual voice and a coronary heart to that individual voice.”
Sure, the truth that Erickson does not deny it implies that it is prefer to be Reeves. However, Erickson does not really affirm that the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Toy Story 4 voice actor is a part of proceedings, so the headline of that article is considerably deceptive.
Anyway, I’ve reached out to Apple to ask if they’ll affirm or deny whether or not Reeves has a small position in Severance‘s latest chapter. I’ll replace this text if I hear again, too. In the meantime, learn my Severance season 2 evaluate (if you have not already) earlier than you stream its first episode. If you’ve got watched it, see when you agree with these seven huge theories I got here up with after Severance season 2’s premiere.
