Elaborating further, Reeves told Esquire:

If it was up to me? No. Mortal Kombat is awesome in so many ways. But I think, you know, Neo… John Wick… yeah man, they’re doing their own thing. Mortal Kombat’s doing their own thing.

Previously, director Ed Boon confirmed in an interview that he wanted to put in Neo and John Wick in Mortal Kombat 11, but this never happened. Additionally, Ed Boon sought to include Neo in Injustice 2.

Throughout his career, Keanu Reeves has played numerous action stars. His famous roles are Neo from The Matrix, the titular assassin John Wick, DC's John Constantine in 2005 and his work for Cyberpunk 2077 as Johnny Silverhand.
