Which Keanu Reeves Movie Universe is the Best/Most Interesting/Most Creative?

Watched Constantine this weekend (highly underrated IMHO and I know that's not controversial) and while watching it I was thinking I may prefer to explore that world than the John Wick Universe. Then that got me to thinking....what about the Matrix universe? While not on that level, even Bill and Ted have a pretty unique world building experience of their trilogy. Johnny Mnemonic?
That also got me thinking, which actor has the best world building examples in their lead filmography? The #1 is probably Harrison Ford....Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Blade Runner is going to be hard to beat.

Arnold has Predator and Terminator going for him, although the last few Terminator movies have been dog crap.

Stallone has a number of universes with Rocky, The Expendables, and Rambo. Clint Eastwood had Dirty Harry and the Dollars Trilogy.

Speed 2 might have been a hit had they gotten Keanu to sign up for it.

Yea that is a hard one to beat. Ian McKellen popped into my head for the Lord of the Rings and X-Men. Looking at his work he was also in the Da Vinci Code, the Golden Compass, Last Action Hero, and the Shadow. I did not see some of those but they kind of fit world building.

Not really part of the calculation or else Keanu would be in trouble, too

Dark horse vote - Sigourney Weaver: Alien Movies, Avatar, Ghost Busters.

Jeff Bridges is up there. Not on Harrison Ford's level but Tron Legacy is underrated. He was the main bad guy in arguably the best Marvel movie in Iron Man so he's got the MCU world. Also was in Kingsman, Lego Batman movie (which was surprising to learn)
but to answer your original question:

Is easily Constantine. Matrix is pretty tapped out unless they introduce some other new ideas with it. Resurrections was pretty meh. People have been clamoring for a Constantine sequel for years. Great character and interesting stories to tell

Kyle McLachlan has done some interesting stuff just with his Lynch movies Dune, Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks but add in Fallout, The Doors, and Showgirls and you've got a lot of good stuff.
Even leaving out those two, you could include Conan, Total Recall, The Running Man, Batman and Robin, Last Action Hero, The 6th Day, and End of Days as interesting worlds.

You read my mind.
You forgot the Cabin in the Woods universe, too.

I'm hoping James Gunn approves more Constantine films and brings in the justice league dark. Make it a true horror film and profit. So much potential there.

How about James Earl Jones?
Conan Universe
Jack Ryan Universe
Star Wars Universe
The Exorcist Universe
The…uhh lion king universe? Sandlot universe? lol ok maybe not those but The Ambulance and Grime Prairie Tales were awesome movies.

Josh Brolin has come a long way from Jonah Hex. He’s been choosing some awesome roles over the last ten years.
Dune
No Country for Old Men/Sicario
Avengers/Deadpool
But you can throw in Sin City and Men In Black as other universes he’s a part of as well.

Tom Cruise with MI, Top Gun, and Jack Reacher have all been successful.

Man just thinking of what could have been with Michael J Fox who just destroyed the 80's and early nineties on iconic characters.
BTTF trilogy
Teen Wolf
Doc Hollywood
The Frighteners
Stuart Little
Big up to him for persevering as long as he has through Parkinson's. Doesn't get enough credit for just being a good human being

John Wick's universe is awesome. But I wish they would/would have explored this. Constantine could be a great TV series if done right.

Bill Paxton was in Aliens, Terminator, and Predator II. Granted, he died in all three but still. Add in Edge of Tomorrow and Near Dark and you have something.
