Keanu Reeves is the king of epic sequels, whether it be the
John Wick franchise,
The Matrix (they’re shooting the fourth movie as we speak!), or even
Bill & Ted which has made a triumphant return after a 29-year absence with
Bill & Ted Face The Music. So while we’re waiting for Keanu to get on board for
Point Break 2 (hey, it could still happen), Stephen Colbert dared to wonder how Reeves' iconic big-screen characters John Wick and Neo would do in a head-to-head battle. It's a question that has plagued mankind for long enough and Keanu ruminated on it momentarily before finally putting us out of our misery.“Aw man, well number one, they wouldn’t fight!” he told Colbert during a recent
The Late Show appearance.“What! What if Neo accidentally killed John Wick’s dog?” Colbert shot back, echoing our internal monologue.
Keanu entertained the idea, creating a scenario where Neo might run over John's dog with a car but it’s in "The Matrix" so the dog isn’t real. After laughing it off (c’mon Neo, this is serious), Keanu maintained his original stance: “No! They wouldn’t fight. John Wick would try to help Thomas Anderson [Neo's real name] out in the real world.”Welp, when you ask Keanu a question, you should expect the Most. Keanu. Answer. Ever.Video-chatting in from Berlin, Germany, direct from
The Matrix 4 set, Reeves was joined by his
Bill & Ted co-star Alex Winter from California to chat about the third installment in the
Bill & Ted series, after 1989’s
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and 1991’s
Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. According to them, the only reason we have a trilogy now is because the fans made it happen.[video_embed id='2018033']RELATED: Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter on what it felt like taking 'Bill and Ted' on another excellent adventure [/video_embed]“I know Alex, you had that all the time: ‘Is there another
Bill & Ted?’ And that kind of rose up and convinced some of the people in show business that they would get behind the project,” he said.That fan support not only got another sequel made, but it also has reminded both Alex and Keanu just how endearing the characters of
Bill & Ted are to fans. The duo, who admit that they're pretty good buddies in real life, realized just how much the characters resonated when they were out and fans would yell from across the street, “Be excellent!” or, “Party on!” or, “Wyld Stallyns!” or, “Duuuuude!”“Are you telling me people didn’t just yell that at you already?” Stephen asked. Touché, Mr. Colbert.While we already know that
John Wick 4 and
The Matrix 4 will be released on
the same day (another reason for them to fight!), Keanu also
recently admitted that he’d be open to another go at
Constantine, making our sequel theory complete. Now to see if we can get Ted Theodore Logan and John Constantine to duke it out...[video_embed id='2021786']BEFORE YOU GO: Stephan James earns his first Emmy nom for #FreeRayshawn, and Laurence Fishburne wants him to win [/video_embed]
