Keanu vs. Keanu: ‘The Matrix 4’ & ‘John Wick 4’ Are Scheduled to Come Out on the Same Day
How about a double Keanu Reeves feature?
In two years, John Wick will be going up against his greatest threat: Neo.
On Wednesday, Warner bros announced the release dates for two highly anticipated movies: The Flash and The Matrix 4, starring Keanu Reeves. The Flash won't hit theaters until July 1, 2022. Meanwhile, The Matrix 4 will be hitting theaters on May 21, 2021.

That is an interesting date. May 21, 2021 is also the date of another hugely popular Keanu Reeves movie: John Wick 4. So, as of now, The Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 are both scheduled to come out on the same date. There is no chance that two major movie studios — Warner Bros. for The Matrix and Lionsgate for John Wick — will let this happen, so it will be interesting to see which movie gets moved off the date.
John Wick 4's release date was announced in May 2019, after John Wick: Chapter 3 was released and was a huge success.
