New ‘Matrix’ Movie In Works At Warner Bros From Drew Goddard

Seems to be going back to what was rumoured originally for Matrix 4, a kind of reboot with new writers directors, possible new cast (Michael B Jordan was rumoured for M4 reboot), until the studio kind of forced The Wachowski director to return

Doesn't look like the freaks will be involved (can't do any damage producing it can they?). Hopefully it'll be more mainstream friendly like the first film.

They should dump all the previous actors except for Reeves, Fishburne and Weaving.

As long as Jada Pinkett Smith is binned it'll be a good start.

Yeah this guy is quite a promising writer/director

After M4 bombed I doubt we'll see Reeves return (cost too much and he probably no want to do more anyway, esp after his big Neo return bombed so bad) LF and Weaving were recast in M4 but maybe Weaving could come back (apparently he couldn't do M4 due to schedule conflict)

There's no way trouble maker JPS be back lol

Yeah I don't see Reeves returning, he seemed bored in Resurrections. I like Drew Goddard's movies, maybe he can come up with something interesting for the 5th one.

Reeves was clear on returning

Sure, what the hell.

Awesome. There should be at least a dozen of these movies by now. Just because the original trilogy wrote itself into a corner was no reason to stop. Drop the saving the world formula. Just have fun adventures with normies in a dystopian apocalypse jacking into a virtual playground.

They gotta get back Don Davis for the soundtrack, then this will be ACE.
