Netflix is yet to reveal any additional casting news or release information about the movie.
Comic book "BRZRKR" is based on an original idea by Reeves and is co-written by John Wick star Matt Kindt.
The first issue of the 12-issue limited series launched on March 3 and has already sold over 615,000.
The story of "Brzrkr" is described as a brutally epic saga about an immortal warrior's 80,000 year fight through the ages. The man known only as 'B' (Reeves) is half-mortal and half-god, cursed and compelled to violence even at the sacrifice of his sanity
The retro action stylings of BRZRKR fit perfectly with the brand Reeves has cultivated in recent years, and the character of B even seems in many ways like an immortal version of John Wick.
