Lol

If he took the role we wouldn't have had Morphius so it was for the best tbh

To be fair, no one knew anything about The Matrix, but reruns of the original Wild Wild West had been pretty popular in the 80s.

I quite like and respect Wills perspective on it but I still think the film would have been great either way.

They weren't gonna have two black main characters. Fishburne would have got cut

His wife wanted him to take it, but Will Smith said he "didn't get it". So his wife played Niobe instead, maybe the start of their cuck relationship.

I can't really imagine Will Smith playing Neo... I feel like Keanu's deadpan acting for Neo is what gave the character a lot of his charm

Neo would have been very different. He'd have that Will Smith sass

Will Smith can do that easily, though.

Looking back, it sort of makes more sense for Morpheus to be Asian anyway.

Wild wild west is a fun movie and doesn't have a generation of people who thinks it's the second coming of philosophy Jesus in film form

They would have cast a white dude for Morpheus if Will was Neo.

Essentially Will Smith took one for the team by turning down the role and the movie was much better for it.
