Overview
- Lilly Wachowski told KCRW that she is "kinda done" with the Matrix franchise and does not want to return to directing or rejoin the series' creative sandbox.
- Drew Goddard remains attached to write and direct a fifth Matrix film for Warner Bros., with Lana Wachowski listed as an executive producer and Goddard producing through his banner.
- Lilly said on KCRW that Goddard reportedly will not move forward unless he secures the Wachowskis' blessing, a condition that makes the project’s future uncertain.
- Key production details such as the script, a release timetable, and whether original stars like Keanu Reeves or Carrie-Anne Moss will return remain unconfirmed.
- Lilly is seeking financing for a separate project called The Hunted, and her shift of focus could reduce the chance of deeper involvement in any future Matrix film while the studio and Goddard continue development.
