1. The Matrix 4 (2022)
Get ready for more mind-bending action, as Neo dodges bullets once again in his cool overcoat and cooler shades. Yes, ‘The Matrix’ franchise is back with a new movie after ages, titled ‘The Matrix 4‘, for now. It is being helmed by Lana Wachowski.
Not much is known about the project as details are mostly being kept under wraps. However, Keanu Reeves, who will be back as Neo once again, has described it as being extremely ambitious. We do not know what that means or what we should expect, but we should definitely be looking out for a young Neo and Morpheus. According to reports, Lana is going old-school in an age when Hollywood is ready to use de-aging technology.
The plan is to cast younger actors in the role of Neo and Morpheus in their younger days. However, would this youth mean time travel or hint at a possible rebirth? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, we know that Jada Pinkett Smith is supposed to be reprising her role as Niobe. ‘Matrix’ fans will definitely feel the nostalgia as they see their favorite characters back on screen after such a long time. Hopefully, the movie is a success, and we can be sure that Jada will do her part to ensure that her performance and role stands out amongst illustrious company and is memorable in its own right.
The film is currently in the pre-production stages, which is very nascent. Thus, we know it will come out in 2022, but no release date has been set for now.
