Warner Bros. Greenlights The Matrix 5 with Drew Goddard

The new installment aims to rejuvenate the franchise, addressing past criticisms while fans remain divided over the decision.

Warner Bros. announces development of The Matrix 5, with Drew Goddard collaborating on the new film.
The decision to proceed with a fifth Matrix film follows divisive reviews and a poor box office performance of the fourth film.
Fans express skepticism over the new project, particularly due to the absence of the Wachowski sisters as directors.
The new film aims to address previous criticisms by focusing on higher stakes, story over CGI, and easing up on technophobia and meta-commentary.
Despite mixed reactions, Warner Bros. is optimistic about Goddard's vision for the franchise, emphasizing a new perspective while honoring the original series.
