With the most recent news of John Wick 4 revealing it’ll be released on the same day as The Matrix 4, fans of both mega-franchises are understandably excited. With the elation comes the whirlwind of fan theories correlating the two, already percolating from the fact that John Wick: Chapter 2 introduced Keanu’s old Matrix alum Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King.
