This. For starters, this fake story came from The Sun, which is a UK tabloid, known for making shit up out of thin air.

There is zero truth to this. Reeves isn't doing anything unusual, they're on holiday break right now, they haven't been filming for the past 10 days, and there were no problems on set when they were filming.

This is a no drama set, so they have resorted to making up BS.

Being a director is a helluva drug. Being in charge of a big movie and telling all of your actors/assistants/everyone on set what to do... people get addicted to that kind of power. And then they abuse it.

[chllschse]

Or RP isn’t following direction very well and the director has to take multiple takes in order to get it right. It’s not necessarily abusive. It’s a still a job and some folks have standards; if things weren’t done right the first or second or third time, you kept doing it until you get it right. + I’ve never heard any other actor or actress that Reeves has worked with complain or call him abusive.....

yes... exactly this. he is a pretty terrible actor. he has some charisma in interviews but onscreen he's incredibly wooden. it's one thing to be mediocre in the twilight movies which were all going to make a billion dollars no matter what he did in them... but the director probably feels like there's a standard to uphold with a batman movie.

What a load of BS. He's one of the best actors of his generation. Nolan, Eggers, Michod, Cronengberg, Claire Denis, James Gray and others who have cast him don't work with "pretty terrible actors."

The vast majority of his films since the Twi franchise ended have been critical successes and he's received rave reviews for The Lighthouse and Good Time. You don't have 5 films premiere at Cannes if you're a terrible actor.

Also every word of this story from a UK tabloid with one unnamed "source" is fake.

I listened to a great podcast with Lisa Joy and her husband Jonathan Nolan where she addressed this. It's at the end when there's about 9 minutes left in the podcast. The whole thing is really good and unexpectedly hilarious: https://www.theringer.com/2020/9/14/21436161/dads-vol-6-with-lisa-joy-and-jonathan-nolan
