Keanu Reeves is officially the franchise king

The mammoth financial and commercial success of the MCU ensured that its talisman, Robert Downey Jr. became the highest-paid actor in Marvel films. But the latest reports coming in show that The Matrix star Keanu Reeves has officially overtaken the Iron Man actor to become the top earner in any single movie franchise, for his role as Neo in The Matrix films. Directed by the Wachowski sisters, The Matrix became one of the most popular and commercially successful sci-fi action thrillers of all time.
