The Matrix Resurrections
Warner Bros. has officially schedule a 2021 liberation date for its as - yet untitledThe Matrix 4.The originalMatrixtrilogy concluded with 2003’sThe Matrix Revolutions , on the face of it impart the story of Neo ( Keanu Reeves ) , Trinity ( Carrie - Anne Moss ) , Morpheus ( Laurence Fishburne ) , and their battle to liberal humanity from the motorcar to an terminal with it . In more recent age , however , WB has been run on various ways to resurrect the pop sci - fi property on the large filmdom , be it witha continuation or reboot .
The studio ultimatelysettled on a fourthMatrixmovieand made the news official a few month ago . Both Reeves and Moss will reprise their respective roles in this fresh chapter ( in spite ofNeo and Trinity ’s deaths duringRevolutions ) , withThe Matrixco - God Almighty Lana Wachowski directing unaccompanied from a screenplay she co - wrote .

Today , WB announcedThe Matrix 4will murder theatre on May 21 , 2021 . The studio apartment had been holding onto that date for Taika Waititi ’s live - actionAkiraadaptation , but with the project on indefinite custody for the time being ( while Waititi proceed off to directThor : Love & Thunderfirst ) , they ’ve decide to hand its spot over to the newMatrixsequel instead . It ’s also the same Clarence Shepard Day Jr. Reeves is set to make his restoration as the " Baba Yaga " in Lionsgate’sJohn Wick 4 , as it happens .
It stands to rationality eitherThe Matrix 4orJohn Wick 4will change going dates at some point in the next distich years , if only because pit two Keanu Reeves action movie sequels ( both of which are expected to be fink R , no less ) seems like a bad idea that would hurt both films . Between Lionsgate and WB , the latter already has a fairly packed ticket for the ease of Summer 2021 , withThe Batman , Space Jam 2 , andThe Suicide Squadscheduled to open in June , July , and August . By equivalence , John Wick 4is the only major Summer 2021 title Lionsgate has scheduled right now , so it would be far loose for them to shift it around . They could even check it by as little as two week to June 4 , where it would service as buffet - programming to WB’sSesame Streetmusical and Paramount’sMicronauts(both of which will gear younger than theJohn Wicksequel ) .
Whatever hap , it will be interesting to see howThe Matrix 4performs in theaters . The film has assembled a capital cast around Reeves and Moss that includes Neil Patrick Harris , Jonathan Groff , andToby Onwumere , in addition to Jada Pinkett - Smith ( who ’s back as Niobe),AquamanandWatchmen ’s Yahya Abdul - Mateen II ( who may or may not be play younger Morpheus ) , andIron Fist ’s Jessica Henwick- who , rumor has it , is play a new embodiment of " The One " . And with Wachowski having come out as transgender and continue to rectify her examination of theme about phylogenesis and transformation with visually - dazzling work likeSense8and , yes , Jupiter AscendingsinceRevolutionswas turn , it will be fascinating to see what brisk ideas she ’s descend up with forThe Matrix 4at this point . Fingers crossed , the sequel will live up to its potential and deliver an experience that really resonates with audiences in 2021 .
