The failure of “Matrix: Resurrections”, from 2021, both in reception and at the box office, raising just over $150 million dollars on a budget of $190 million dollars, made more than one fan think that the saga starring Keanu Reeves had reached his final end. However, and surprisingly, Warner Bros., the studio in charge of the saga, announced that the fifth installment of “The Matrix” is already underway.
According to Jesse Ehrman, president of production at Warner Bros. Motion Picture, he recently revealed that a new installment of the famous franchise started by sisters Lana and Lily Wachowski has begun under the command and script of Drew Goddard.

Although details regarding the production of “Matrix 5” are still scarce, Ehrman confessed that it will be Goddard who will direct the new film, while Lana Wachowski, who directed the fourth installment alone, will take the role of executive producer. .
In the information revealed so far, it was not mentioned whether Lily Wachowski would return to the fifth production after leaving the previous film entirely. Likewise, the possible return of Keanu Reeves in the role of Neo as well as Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity has not been revealed.
“The entire Warner Bros. Discovery team is thrilled to have Drew make this new ‘Matrix’ film, adding his vision to the cinematic canon that the Wachowskis spent a quarter of a century building here at the studio.”
Despite the “hope” of seeing Reeves or Moss again in their legendary roles, the entry of a new director would make it clear that the fifth installment of “The Matrix” would be focused on telling the story of another character within this infinity universe.
Regarding Drew Goddard, the director has extensive experience in the world of screenwriting for film and television thanks to productions such as “Cloverfield”, “World War Z”, “The Martian”, “Lost”, “Alias”, “The Good Place”, among others. Likewise, he has a nascent career in the director’s chair for films such as “The Cabin in the Woods” as well as “Bad Times at the El Royale.”
