Lilly Wachowski Says 'I'm Kinda Done' With The Matrix, Reveals 'Complicated Situation' With The Matrix 5
Lilly Wachowski has said she’s “kinda done” with The Matrix, and suggested the recently announced The Matrix 5 may not move forward without the Wachowski’s blessing.
Lilly Wachowski has declared she is "kinda done" with The Matrix and suggests the upcoming The Matrix 5 may not go ahead without her and her sister Lana's approval. Warner Bros. confirmed The Matrix 5 in 2024, with Drew Goddard taking on writing and directing duties, following in the footsteps of The Martian and The Cabin in the Woods.
Drew Goddard presented Warner Bros. with a new idea, which the studio believes honors the Wachowskis' original vision while offering a fresh perspective. The Matrix series concluded with The Matrix Resurrections in 2021, receiving mixed reviews and underperforming at the box office. If The Matrix 5 materializes, it will be the first installment without either Wachowski directing.
Lana Wachowski considered executive producing the film, but Lilly Wachowski has expressed her disinterest in participating further. The situation regarding The Matrix 5 is complex, as Goddard wishes to receive the Wachowskis' blessing before proceeding. If the film is made, it remains uncertain whether Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will reprise their roles as Neo and Trinity.
