I’m imaging the alternative timeline:

Will Smith is Neo in The Matrix and it doesn’t do well and is the only entry in the series.

Keanu Reeves stars in The Wild Wild West and it ends up being a well received movie and spans 2 sequels and an anime spinoff and a 4th sequel nearly 20 years later that isn’t as well received.

Wonder what these sequels would have been like.
