Yeah. I think we kind of know what to expect when we imagine how Will would perform in a role, and I kind of like that about him. My point is that a good actor would surprise us and compel us into a place we've never been.That reminds me of his acting in After Earth, which was not his best suit being serious. Not saying he can't do emotion at a time when needed, but being too serious does not feel like its his strong suit in acting.
Also him as Neo would have been a weird but not far out concept. Might have been a harder pill to swallow than Keanu but not impossible to see done. I mean hell we almost got Nic Cage as Superman in the same decade, It could have worked even if weird. I would have loved to see what these alternate outcomes would have looked like if they did come to fruition.
I have trouble imagining Will as Neo though. I think I would have been less blown away by the philosophic undertones and more "yeah Will is a cool". I think I do prefer Keanu, but we can't really know.
