BRZRKR (2026) is a highly anticipated live-action adaptation of the popular graphic novel series co-created by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt. Directed by Chad Stahelski, known for his work on the John Wick series, the film delivers an intense blend of action, mythology, and tragedy.
The story centers on a character known simply as “B” (played by Keanu Reeves), an immortal warrior cursed with an insatiable bloodlust. Born 80,000 years ago as the son of a god and a mortal woman, B has been fighting throughout history, serving in countless wars and missions, driven by a mysterious force that compels him to kill. His immortality and regenerative abilities make him virtually indestructible, but the centuries of violence have taken a severe toll on his psyche.
In the present day, B works for the U.S. government in exchange for their help in uncovering the secrets of his existence and, ultimately, finding a way to end his life. The film follows B as he takes on increasingly dangerous missions, battling both external enemies and his own inner demons.
As the plot unfolds, B uncovers a hidden conspiracy within the government, revealing that they have been using him to hunt down others like him—ancient beings with god-like powers. These encounters force B to confront his past, his identity, and the true nature of his curse.
The climax of the film is a brutal, emotionally charged confrontation between B and another immortal who claims to have found a way to end their suffering. The movie ends with B making a harrowing choice: to continue his endless cycle of violence or to embrace the possibility of redemption and peace.
BRZRKR is a dark, philosophical exploration of immortality, identity, and the cost of violence, anchored by Reeves’ powerful performance.
