Warner Bros. has officially announced that a fifth installment of The Matrix franchise is in development, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the original film. However, the Wachowskis, who helmed the previous films, will not be directly involved in this new project. Drew Goddard has been chosen as the writer and director for the upcoming sequel, with Warner Bros. highlighting his "unique perspective" on the franchise. The decision has sparked a mix of reactions among fans, with some expressing excitement for Goddard's unique perspective on the franchise, while others are concerned about the absence of the Wachowskis and question the necessity of another sequel. There's also speculation on whether Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss will reprise their iconic roles.
Drew Goddard, who has worked on everything from 'The Martian' to 'The Good Place,' will write and direct the new film. Your simulated future is about to look very different. https://t.co/wnZeENXEHn
Drew Goddard? Okay... maybe we're on board for one more. #thematrix #drewgoddard https://t.co/WqgtEJg5Z5
‘The Matrix’ fans threaten to boycott new sequel as Wachowskis won’t be directing https://t.co/fecetL8fGm
#Matrix5 why can't film studio's take risks anymore with new stories? Why do we have to constantly have another 4th 5th 6th of a film? Saying that if Keanu is in it I watch it.
Drew Goddard's film will offer a "unique perspective" on the franchise's future, according to Warner Bros. 👀 https://t.co/L0ijboGY8N
Do we need another bloated and intellectually braindead Matrix movie?
I dunno if a director as obsessively meta-self-reflexive as Drew Goddard were doing one of the ANIMATRIX segments most of us would be down with it, so insofar as Matrix 5 is clearly an awful IP-driven idea that shouldn't exist, they could have chosen a worse person to do it lol
The announcement of The Matrix 5 without the Wachowskis prompts a divided response from fans and even leads some to defend Resurrections. https://t.co/g4tG9QFN0d
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 5 is confirmed, but with the upcoming sequel under new direction, can we expect Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss to return to their roles? https://t.co/8kC5DLmOEY
My stance is that literally anything Drew Goddard wants to make is okay by me.
Just in time for the 25th anniversary of #TheMatrix, it's official: A fifth installment of the franchise is officially in the works - albeit without the Wachowskis directly involved https://t.co/XjvSLh7iEq
