A fifth installment of The Matrix franchise is officially in the works, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the original film. This new chapter, however, will not involve the original creators, Lana and Lilly Wachowski, marking a significant departure from its predecessors. Drew Goggard, known for his work on World War Z and The Martian, has been announced as the director and brings a new vision for continuing the Matrix world. The announcement has sparked a mixed reaction among fans, with some expressing skepticism about the direction of the franchise without the Wachowskis' involvement. Questions also arise regarding whether Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss will reprise their iconic roles.
Nobody but the Wachowskis should make another Matrix movie, and the Wachowskis probably shouldn’t make another Matrix movie either. https://t.co/4sXTTNHPhz

We think director Drew Goddard is the perfect choice to take the helm of #TheMatrix franchise, but let us explain why: https://t.co/trGeE2DiuH
Which movie would make more in theaters--MATRIX 5 or KUNG FU PANDA 5? That M5 budget better not be over $100M...

The Matrix was good for popularizing bullet-time by Manex Visual Effects but the warmed-over philosophy mish-mash was not compelling. The Wachowskis haven't made a good film in 25 years. The Joe Johnston "Jumanji" wasn't great but the Jake Kasdan one was. https://t.co/mH37tsg2O8
I hope THE MATRIX 5 is a retelling of the story from Cypher's point of view. Or a Cypher equivalent. Someone who is, understandably, annoyed as shit that these asshole terrorists broke him out of his cozy existence and made him eat gruel and live in a cave that smells like orgy.
That's four Matrix movies too many. https://t.co/VswslfF8Hl

THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS was a beautiful, poignant conclusion to the story of Neo and Trinity. I honestly don’t see the need for another Matrix film, especially one without Lana or Lilly Wachowski. The story is done. It’s time to move on. https://t.co/2P31gxyfUB
After the success of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan can essentially make any film he wants, but his history with sequels makes one film very unlikely. https://t.co/jfRfQhb98i
