Keanu Reeves has broken his silence on the ultimate fan debate: The Matrix or John Wick?
The Canadian actor and musician finally revealed the answer to the question fans have been dying to know after name-dropping three of his own movies he would actually stop to watch.
To the John Wick fans’ disappointment, no movie from the franchise made the cut in his top three.
During a discussion at The New Yorker Festival, alongside his Waiting for Godot on Broadway costar Alex Winter and culture critic Naomi Fry, the legendary Hollywood actor was asked whether he watches old movies he stars in.
"No, I mean, maybe while I’m scrolling or moving and thinking, 'There, oh yes, Point Break is on,'" the 61-year-old playfully revealed the first film, referring to his 1991 action flick in which he played an undercover FBI agent.
"Or, 'Oh wow, Matrix, all right. [The Matrix] Reloaded, f--- yes,'" he added while at the stage on October 26, with a laugh, noting to his 1999 and 2003 films from The Matrix franchise in which he starred as computer-hacker-turned-superhero Neo.
The Speed actor continued, "Anyway, not yes, no. … I haven’t like just put one on."
While some of his fans made the same choice others got different views.
In a Reddit discussion, one fan raved over The Matrix, writing, "The Matrix. Even if you only factor in the first, it beats all the Wicks."
Another added, "We would not have John Wick without the Matrix."
However, according to the John Wick fanatics, the franchise has consistently improved in quality, making it better than The Matrix in the long run.
Reeves gained worldwide recognition as Neo in 1999's The Matrix, but the John Wick franchise of the last decade actually became the iconic actor's best overall franchise, as per a fan’s take on the social media platform.
