"I love John Wick," Moss told People.

She continued, "I really started to understand Keanu's outrageous gift for telling story through his body. And I didn't fully understand that until I went deep into John Wick with one of my children."

The 54-year-old actress added, "It was very bonding for us too. It was amazing to have that experience with my son and to watch the depth that Keanu is able to [create] with his body. It's really an art form."

In a past interview, Reeves shared how he got a text from Wachowski about the fourth "Matrix" installment.

"I had heard over the years that Warner Bros, who financed and distributed The Matrix trilogy, was considering making another Matrix film, and then I would always go, 'Well are the Wachowskis involved?' And then it would be, 'No,' and I would say, 'Well, that's never going to happen,'" he said.

Reeves continued, "But then it started to get closer and closer, and I was like, 'Hmm... still not gonna happen.' And then a year, a couple, went by. I got a text, a call from Lana Wachowski, and she was saying that she was considering doing another Matrix film. And I was like, 'Whaaaat?' And then she said, 'Yes.' But there were a lot of things she wanted to consider first, you know – just the writing, the situation. She kind of went step by step. But I was really happy that she invited me and I was looking forward to it happening."

"The Matrix Resurrections" is now playing in theaters, while "John Wick: Chapter 4" will hit cinemas in March 2023.
