'No' - Keanu Reeves when asked if Neo should be in Mortal Kombat
Neo won't test his might.
Keanu Reeves isn’t keen on the idea of his characters being in Mortal Kombat.
During an interview with Esquire, Reeves took the time to answer some burning fan questions. One of which asked whether or not he would be into the idea of either Neo from The Matrix or John Wick from the John Wick films being guest characters in a Mortal Kombat game.
“If it was up to me? No,” Reeves said via Esquire. “Mortal Kombat is awesome in so many ways. But I think, you know, Neo, John Wick… Yeah, man, they’re doing their own thing. Mortal Kombat’s doing their own thing.”
The Matrix Resurrections star sure didn’t mince words. Ed Boon will be heartbroken.
It’s time to re-enter The Matrix.

Mortal Kombat has a long, storied history of crossovers with famous film characters. On several occasions, Jason Voorhees, the Predator, Rambo, RoboCop, and loads more have clashed steel with Scorpion and Sub Zero. Shame that Neo himself isn’t into the idea of stepping into Outworld, though.
Crossovers are all the rage in video games these days. League of Legends is doing crossovers with Among us. Call of Duty is likely crossing over with Attack on Titan. Fortnite does crossovers with every brand in the known universe.
