Whether Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as Neo remains unclear. Reeves previously told Empire in 2021 that he would return if invited by Lana Wachowski, but Warner Bros. has not confirmed any casting.
Released in 1999, The Matrix became one of the most influential science fiction films of all time, spawning three sequels and reshaping the genre with its philosophical themes and groundbreaking visual effects.
The fifth film will be the first in the series not directed by either of the Wachowskis.
