Reeves has even been tapped from a non-playable character in the upcoming video game CYBERPUNK 2077, and there are reports that Disney and Marvel Studios are attempting to find a place for him in their massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe.

There鈥檚 no indication that Lionsgate 鈥� the studio behind John Wick 鈥� and Warner Bros. coordinated the shared release date. And only time will tell if one or both studios will change their dates in an attempt to not split Keanu Reeves fans that weekend.

Both John Wick 4 and The Matrix 4 are due to come out on May 21st, 2021. We should just make May 21st Keanu day from here out.
