Just a few days ago, The Matrixreleased in 1999, celebrated 25 years since its release, and since then cinema has changed forever. The Matrix It was an avant-garde and progressive film in many ways, a film that It opened the minds of an entire generation and sowed doubt about the reality we live in.and on top of that, he managed to create the best special effects of the time.
The Matrix: Resurrections Released in 2021, it was a worldwide box office failure, only earning $157 million, making it the one that earned the least money of the four films. Although The Matrix: Resurrections It has an impressive trailer and does some things very well, like paying homage to the three films and playing with the idea that Neo without Trinity is not the chosen one (something that already happened in the first installment), unfortunately it has some holes as it is written, and some of these holes are important and They cannot be explained. However, Warner Bros. a few hours ago surprised the world giving the green light to a fifth installment.
Will Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss return to The Matrix?
On this occasion the now Wachowski sisters will not be part of the direction and writing for the first time in the saga, leaving the baton for Drew Goddard, who is a veteran screenwriter who has participated in many works, from the series of Daredevil until the movie Mars by Ridley Scott, also including the series The Defenders, Alias, Lost and even Buffy the Vampire Slayer, also acting as producer in many of these productions. Drew Goddard will be in charge of the direction as well as the script of this new installment of The Matrix, leaving us only with doubt about its story and its characters.
Lana Wachowski will be a producer of this film, yes, but the new direction and writing leads us to the next question: Is it possible that we will see a main installment of this saga without Keanu Reeves? Although we have already had several video games and short films about the universe The Matrix without Keanu Reeves, like Enter the Matrix either The Animatrixit is hard to believe that in a main delivery we cannot see the “chosen one”, but times change and perhaps the failure of The Matrix: Resurrections push in the direction of a parallel story leaving Neo's story aside.

For now we can only wait for more information, and trust that the new team can set the bar high for the saga. Despite the bad reviews and the failure in collection, The Matrix: Resurrections It is a film that should be seen if you have enjoyed the three original installments, although without a doubt there will be many things that you will not like, or the film will not explain them to you as much as you would like, some good moments make it worth it if you enjoy the universe of The Matrix.
