Matrix 5 Is In the Works With Drew Goddard Directing

Warner Bros has announced a fifth Matrix movie is in the works, with Drew Goddard set to write and direct. Although Lana Wachowski will executive produce, this upcoming sequel will be the first without Lana Wachowski or Lilly Wachowski in the directing chair.

Whether key cast members like Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will return remains unknown at this time. However, Warner Bros. Motion Pictures President of Production Jesse Ehrman expressed enthusiasm for Goddard’s unique perspective and vision for the Matrix world.

Goddard, known for his work on The Martian and The Cabin in the Woods, shared his gratitude for the opportunity, citing the profound impact of The Matrix films on both cinema and his life.

The Wachowskis’ groundbreaking first Matrix movie in 1999 captivated audiences with its dystopian future and the revelation of humanity’s existence within a simulated reality. The subsequent sequels and the fourth film, The Matrix Resurrections, continued to expand the franchise’s impact on the already popular franchise.

As we await further details on the upcoming film and the potential return of Reeves and Moss, fans can revisit the simulation by rewatching the Matrix films on Max.
