Ed Boon will have to find someone else for his Mortal Kombat.
After various movie characters from Terminator to Rambo have appeared as DLC guests in Mortal Kombat games over the years, fans of the series have speculated about the arrival of Neo in The Matrix o John Wick. And not only. Series creator Ed Boon obviously thought it was a great idea too. However, there are some who think this is not a good idea, which is the same Keanu Reeves.
In a video interview where Reeves answered 4 questions from fans, the corresponding question was raised: “If it were up to you, would you allow Neo or John Wick to arrive in Mortal Kombat?“.
“What if it was up to me? No“, he smiles.”Mortal Kombat is awesome in so many ways. But I think you know Neo and John Wick, they do certain things. And Mortal Kombat does other things“The road from the Matrix to Mortal Kombat is short as both brands are owned by Warner. However, the rights to John Wick are owned by Lionsgate. Both characters are virtually useless without Reeves’ appearance, which is why which will probably never come to this until the actor vetoes it.
Conversations about Neo in Mortal Kombat date back to 2016, when Boon revealed to Game Informer that Warner Bros. wanted to put Neo in a Netherrealm game, again in Mortal Kombat 9. The developer declined because it was feared that the character would not. it would be paired with ultra-brutal gameplay.
