Matrix 5 Is Being Made, Confirms Warner Bros

Warner Bros. has officially confirmed that the fifth instalment of Keanu Reeves’s science fiction thriller Matrix is being made. But this edition of the popular franchise will have the screeriter of ‘The Martian’ Drew Goddard as the director.

Matrix 5 will mark the first film in the franchise which will not have Lana or Lilly Wachowski as the directors. Lana, who has directed the Matrix movies in the past, will be the executive producer for the film.

The plot and cast of Matrix 5 has not been disclosed. So, it is not clear whether Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will appear in this movie or not. It is not known, if Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Jonathan Groff, who recently joined the franchise in Matrix 4, will return.

The Matrix franchise, created by the Wachowski siblings, follows protagonist Neo as he discovers the truth about humanity’s enslavement in a simulated reality and joins a group of rebels to fight against advanced technologies.

The first movie of the series was released in 1999. The Matrix franchise has had three sequels. But the fourth film, The Matrix Resurrections, released in 2021, was a massive box office disappointment.
