The theory goes that both The Matrix 4 and John Wick: Chapter 4 would serve as two parts of one story that reveals Keanu Reeves’ hitman has actually been Neo (also played by Reeves) the entire time, trapped in a Matrix-style simulation.
Should the new John Wick film change release dates, it would certainly put an end to any high-concept theories relating to a crossover between the two films.
However, because of the many film delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic, John Wick: Chapter 4’s release date has moved from 21 May 2021 to 27 May 2022.
A popular theory about The Matrix and John Wick has been officially debunked because of coronavirus.
