The Matrix 4, in turn, announced a production suspension because of Covid-19, Keanu Reeves' Day in 2021 could be canceled.

2021 promises to be an extremely explosive year for Keanu Reeves and fans, when the veteran actor will return in the two big blockbusters that have contributed to his name: The Matrix 4 (Matrix) ) and John Wick: Chapter 4. Coincidentally, both films will hit theaters on May 21, 2021, promising an intriguing showdown in the box office arena. Fans even quickly considered this day as Keanu Reeves and were ready to 'freeze' outside the cinema all day to enjoy these two works.

Currently, The Matrix 4 has been shooting for about a month and even bustled the Internet with a series of backstage videos recorded by fans. However, due to the complicated situation of Covid-19 translation, Warner Bros. recently. issued an official notice to suspend Matrix production indefinitely. This will certainly affect the schedules of both the studio and the cast, including Keanu Reeves - who will return to the role of 'The One' Neo.

Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss appeared on the set of The Matrix 4 in San Franciso a few days ago.

Although it claims to limit the use of CGI technology, a science fiction film like The Matrix will certainly take a lot of time for post-production. That's not to mention the big blockbusters will often take more time to reshoot - come back, shoot more scenes that aren't really perfect. Therefore, the schedule is interrupted because the pandemic will put on the shoulders of the post-1 team a big burden if they still want the film to be released in theaters on May 21, 2021.

However, even if The Matrix 4 premieres on schedule, there's a high chance that Keanu Reeves will still be canceled. The current John Wick 4 has not yet been shot, and can only begin after the production of the Matrix is ​​completed so that Keanu can return to Baba Yaga wholeheartedly. Now that The Matrix has rescheduled, surely John Wick will be hit hard. If Covid-19 continues to continue as complicated as it is today, it is almost certain that John Wick will not be able to hit the theaters on the same day as The Matrix as originally scheduled.

However, this is not necessarily bad news. Both are action-heavy films, John Wick and The Matrix share the same audience, not to mention classified as a 'must-see' list of Keanu Reeves fans. Therefore, it is not a good idea to have these two blockbusters released on the same day. Fans may be happy, excited, but with Warner Bros. and Liongate, the new revenue they are most interested in.

The Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 released on the same day may not be a good idea.

If the two films are to be released within 1 or 2 months apart, it will give the neutral fans time to watch. Not everyone is ready both in time and economy to go to the cinema for 1, 2 days in a row. And if not a hard Keanu fan, going to the cinema just for fun, many people will only choose one of these two films if both still debut on the same day as originally planned.

Again and again, the delay of shooting due to pandemic is something that no manufacturer wants. However, this is a necessary action to ensure the health and safety of the actors, the crew and the audience. Recently, a series of studios have announced to stop releasing big blockbusters such as Fast & Furious 9 (1 year behind schedule), Black Widow (behind schedule indefinitely) or No Time To Die (half year schedule). Hopefully, both The Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 will be able to hit theaters in 2021. By then, although Keanu Reeves is no longer there, we will still have five Keanu.
