Back in 2020, the Canadian actor,Keanu Reevesmade an appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert where he was asked who would win if his character John Wick and Neo fromThe Matrix end up fighting each other.
As the question looks quite intriguing to us, the actor insisted,
“Aw man, well, number one, they wouldn’t fight.”
The host then created a scenario to spar the two talented characters stating that Neo accidentally ends up 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing the legendary hitman’s dog. He mentioned,
“I’m driving and the dog runs out in the street and I 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 him… and then I can bring the dog back and John Wick’s like, ‘What’s going on?’”
In his response, he further insisted,
“No! No. They wouldn’t fight. But maybe John Wick would try to help Thomas Anderson out in the real world, maybe against the machines.”
It’s quite clear that both the protagonists would avoid unnecessary fights with each other which is why he continued to remain adamant that they would not fight.

The ex-assassin fought bravely in the newJohn Wick: Chapter 4with the movie concluding by showing his grave. It, thus, indicated that the protagonist is six feet under but many are hoping for the actor to return to the franchise since his death is not clearly shown in the film which absolutely could make a whole difference. The actor feels that the ending felt right and also mentioned his return to the film. In an interview withEntertainment Weekly,
“I mean, I wouldn’t do a ‘John Wick’ film without [director] Chad Stahelski. We’d have to see what that looked like. For me, it feels really right that John Wick finds peace.”
On the other hand, Reeves reprised his role in the fourth part of the sci-fi action series titled, The Matrix Resurrections. The film was unable to perform well at the box office with many panning its writing and weak action choreography. Given that there are no plans as of now regarding the fifth sequel, the Constantine actor has hinted in several interviews that he is willing to reprise his Neo role provided the story is good enough to make sense.
