Will Smith recently told an interviewer he turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix because he didn't connect with the concept after he met with the Wachowskis, opting for Wild Wild West instead. Looking back, Smith recognized that Keanu Reeves was perhaps the perfect choice for Neo and joked that he might have destroyed the film. In addition, he told the interviewer that Val Kilmer would be considered for Morpheus if he had accepted the role.
