Keanu Reeves reflects on Matrix memories, says has original Matrix pill 'not stolen'

A unique relic from The Matrix belongs to Keanu Reeves.

58-year-old Canadian actor made the admission during a Saturday Reddit Ask Me Anything session that he still retains the red pill from the 1999 movie's set.

Queried if he's ever "stolen anything" from any of his movie sets, Reeves replied, "Not stolen … the watch and wedding ring from John Wick, a sword from 47 Ronin, and the first red pill that the Wachowskis ever gave me."

One of the most well-known scenes from the science fiction action movie, which was written and directed by the Wachowski sisters, is when Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus offers Keanu Reeves' Thomas Anderson/Neo the option of ingesting a red or blue pill.

The blue pill would allow Neo to leave the "rabbit hole" and return to his peaceful reality, while the red pill would allow him to see the truth and continue down it.

A Reddit user asked Reeves if he liked the martial arts training he underwent for The Matrix or John Wick.

"Nothing can ever compare to the kung fu training from the Matrix because it was so unique and my first time … but the jiu-jitsu in John Wick being integrated with judo and gunfights can never be touched in its own way," Reeves replied.

The Matrix Resurrections, the final movie in the franchise, debuted in 2021. It was followed by The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, two sequels that were both released in 2003.

When asked if he might appear in another Matrix film in the future, Reeves admitted he would be open to reprising his part for a fifth time if the proper individuals agreed to work on the project.

"If she invites me again, I'm in," Reeves remarked in December 2021 on the Empire podcast with his Matrix co-star Carrie-Ann Moss, indicating his intention to return to the box office smash movie on the proviso that director Lana, 57, helm the picture once again.

Nonetheless, he confessed that he does not believe another film is in the works.

"I don't believe so. If I had to cast … a vote, I would say that Lana would not do another Matrix," Reeves said.

"We thought that about this one, too," added Moss, 55, of the most recent film.

"We don't know! We don't know. But I'm there if it's there," continued Reeves. "If she invites us again — I'm sorry, I spoke for you [Moss] again! If she invites me again, I'm in."

Moss added, "I love it."
