Keanu Reeves has addressed the question which apparently Someone Kombat fans have been interrogative. In an interview with Esquire to raise The Matrix 4 (thanks, Eurogamer) the cyberspace's favourite nice guy was asked or so whether Modern surgery John Wick would seem in a Mortal Kombat game, if it were busy him.

"If it was equal to me? No," says Reeves, though rather than going straight for the Human death atomic number 2 then offers Friendly relationship. "Mortal Kombat is awesome in and then many ways, but I suppose... um you know, Modern, Saint John Taper, yeah serviceman they're doing their have thing. Mortal Kombat's doing their possess thing."

I like how he says "awesome in so many slipway." You could interpret that in so many shipway.

It's probably worth saying that the rights to the Modern character residue with Warner Bros., which publish Mortal Kombat, so this crossover remains a genuine possibility. The John Taper franchise is restrained by Lionsgate.

Reeves' comment puts paid to the hopes of Individual Kombat fans who loved to be The One. This was mainly folk wanting those characters in uncommon (Somebody Kombat 11 has featured classic action heroes like The Terminator, RoboCop, and Rambo) and series co-creator Male erecticle dysfunction Blessing occasionally mocking the possibilities.

Boon, currently Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm's creative director, has in the noncurrent has talked close to adding Neo and Lav Wick to the series. He besides said at single maneuver that Neo was advisable for Mortal Kombat 9, but they weren't sure of the fit: "I remember [Warner Bros.] brought up Modern. So there were a whole bunch of ones that for business concern reasons or that creatively we didn't call back they'd fit," Boon told Game Informer. Whatever the fans think, Boon is probably right: certain characters can fit in amongst the blood and viscera of Mortal Kombat, but visual perception Neo rip soul's spine retired just doesn't quite fit that character's vibe.

Reeves and his characters are found widely elsewhere in video recording games of course, the all but guiding light recent good example beingness his turn as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077. There's the official and very decent Trick Wick Hex, and a big handful of Matrix games: including the beat out-em-up Path of Neo, which byword you make a stink through a re-working of the movie plot line before fighting a city-squirrel-sized Federal agent Smith.
