Keanu Reeves as Aziz Ansari's Guardian Angel? A Hilarious Mix of Comedy and the Supernatural in the 'Good Fortune' Trailer

If you think Keanu Reeves is only Neo from The Matrix or the fearless John Wick, get ready for a surprise. In his new role in the movie Good Fortune, Keanu plays a guardian angel — but not the classic, intimidating kind. Instead, he’s a kind-hearted, somewhat clumsy celestial messenger who’s lost his wings. And that’s just the beginning.

Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut offers a fresh take on comedy, sprinkled with mysticism and unexpected twists. Aziz stars as Arj, a gig worker trying to survive the hectic pace of life. Meanwhile, his fate unexpectedly crosses paths with Jeff (Seth Rogen), a wealthy venture capitalist who seems to have bought everything except true happiness.

Enter Gabriel — Keanu Reeves as the angel determined to prove to the heroes and the audience that money doesn’t solve all problems. The plan is simple: swap their lives. But as often happens in comedies, nothing goes as planned. The result? Total chaos, lots of funny moments, and, of course, Gabriel losing his wings.

The first teaser trailer has already blown up online: Keanu’s typically restrained charisma contrasts perfectly with his new role — an angel who wants to help but ends up messing everything up. The film also stars Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh as another angel, promising even more laughs.

Good Fortune hits US theaters on October 17, 2025, and looks set to be one of the brightest and most original releases of the fall. It’s more than just a comedy — it’s a story about the importance of not losing yourself chasing success and how true values aren’t measured in money.

If you’re ready to laugh out loud and see Keanu Reeves from a totally unexpected side, this movie is for you. Guaranteed: a guardian angel has never been this funny and human.
